Etymology

The name comes from the Kabyle phrase Tizi Wezzu and is pronounced quickly Thiziwzzu, commonly Tizi or Thizi which means the "mountain pass", while Azzu means the "Forsythia" (the preposition n / en, which means: "of / related to", is not pronounced here), hence the city is often referred to as "The gap of Forsythia"
