The best-documented uses are as the name of a German dairy company, Zott SE & Co. KG, which produces yogurt, cheese, and dessert products and markets them in various European countries. The brand has been present in the market since the mid-20th century and has grown through diversification and distribution in multiple markets, though specific corporate details vary by country.

As a surname, Zott appears in some European populations, particularly in German-speaking regions. It may be found in historical records and contemporary contexts, with individuals bearing the name appearing in journalism, academia, or business.

In fiction and media, Zott or zott may be used as a character name or place name in certain works, though these uses are not standardized and depend on the creator’s choice.

Etymology for the term is not uniformly documented and may derive from Germanic roots or be a shortening or transliteration of related names. Given the lack of a single canonical sense, readers should rely on the surrounding context to interpret “zott.”
