I’ve only ever seen this as a (male) French name, a variant of Zosimus, so my instinct was “zoh-SEEM”. But this

is beautiful! :heart_eyes:

Thank you to everyone who voted and commented, with a special shoutout to @tallemaja for weighing in on the Greek pronunciation - and to @rosepip for knowing who to call! :wink:

Zoh-Zheem, maybe Zoh-See-May or Zo-Seem but not the others.
