What is the origin of the word Zonta?
“Zonta” is derived from a Lakhota (Teton Dakota), a language of the Native-American Sioux
peoples, word meaning honest and trustworthy. It was adopted in 1919 to symbolize the combined qualities of honesty and trust,
inspiration and the ability to work together for service and world understanding.
