"In most dialects of English, the letter's name is zed (

/ˈzɛd/) reflecting its derivation from the Greek zeta (see below) but in American English, its name is zee (

/ˈziː/), deriving from a late 17th century English dialectal form.[1] Another English dialectal form is izzard (

/ˈɪzərd/), which dates from the mid-18th century and probably derives from Occitan izèda (literally translating as "i zed")[clarification needed] or the French et zède "and z".[2][dubious – discuss]"
