Zav

Zav is a term that can refer to several unrelated uses across language and culture. It does not have a single, globally defined meaning.

One established use is as an acronym in German public administration. In this context, ZAV stands for Zentrale Auslands- und Fachvermittlung, the Central Foreign and Professional Placement. It is a division of the Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit) responsible for international recruitment and the placement of foreign professionals in Germany.

Beyond this acronym, Zav may be encountered as a personal name or nickname in some communities, where it functions as a given name or shortened form of longer names. The usage and pronunciation vary by region and language.

Zav can also appear in branding, fictional works, or online handles as a short, distinctive label. Its meaning in such uses is usually context-dependent and not tied to any official definition.
