Zie

Zie is a term used in multiple contexts, including as a given name or nickname, a neopronoun in gender-neutral language communities, and as a mononym in various works of fiction.

As a personal name, Zie can function as a shortened form of longer names or as a standalone given name; its use and pronunciation vary by culture and language. In some contexts, Zie appears as part of a tradition of flexible naming where short forms are common.

As a neopronoun, Zie is used by some individuals to refer to a person in the third person, often alongside related forms such as zie/zim/zir. Usage is not universal and depends on personal preference, community norms, and sometimes the languages involved. When used, pronoun forms may be chosen to align with the speaker’s gender identity or linguistic style.

In fiction and media, Zie appears as a character name or alias in novels, comics, or video games; such uses are typically independent of the pronoun usage and reflect the author’s stylistic choice or world-building needs. The same spelling can therefore refer to different, unrelated things in different works.
