Here's What SZA's Real Name Actually Is
Just like her real name has meaning, so does her stage name. SZA, which is pronounced "Sizza" comes from the supreme alphabet, per Elite Daily, but what is the supreme alphabet? This type of alphabet takes letters and assigns text to them, so essentially, SZA represents "sovereign," "zigzag," and "Allah." The word "Allah" represents her heritage and identity as a Muslim, the outlet added.
Furthermore, it wasn't just the supreme alphabet that influenced her stage name. Another popular Black artist inspired the R&B singer's name with his stage name. Enter RZA, the rapper and founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan, who motivated SZA to create her stage name after the supreme alphabet, according to Elite Daily.
So, not only does SZA's stage name have a deep meaning, but so does her real name as well. No wonder, we're shedding tears and breaking hearts from listening to her heartfelt lyrics. This singer is deep.
