Zabriskie

Zabriskie is a surname of Dutch origin commonly found in the United States. It is an Americanized form of a Dutch toponymic or family name and is associated with early Dutch settlers who lived in the Northeast, particularly New Jersey and New York. Over generations, bearers of the name spread nationwide through immigration and internal migration; the spelling has remained relatively stable in most records.

Zabriskie Point is a rocky promontory located at the eastern edge of Death Valley National Park in Inyo County, California. The site is noted for its expansive views of the valley and its distinctive colors and rock formations. The feature is named for members of the Zabriskie family who lived in the region in the 19th or early 20th century.

In popular culture, Zabriskie Point is the title of a 1970 film directed by Michelangelo Antonioni. The film, while not set entirely at the location, uses the Death Valley area and the name as a central motif, and contributed to the site's notoriety.
