Zillah is also the name of one of the five main characters in YouTube Series ‘Oxventure: Blades in The Dark’ who is described as a prize fighter. Whilst the character is described as having a heavier build, she is also described as Amiable. Therefore, this could be an example of this name’s potential connotations coming into play.

According to the Jewish Women's Archive, the name may mean "protector." It has a musical significance. Meyers, Carol. "Zillah: Bible." Shalvi/Hyman Encyclopedia of Jewish Women. 27 February 2009. Jewish Women's Archive. (Viewed on May 11, 2024).Abarim Publications (https://www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Zillah.html) lists the meaning of the name as "shadow" or "bell", from צלל, meaning to ring or to be dark. (Zillah is a very poetic and melancholy name, when it comes down to its meaning!)
Yes, it reminds me of Godzilla too... which is freaking awesome! C'mon, people! The teasing potential is very high if the girl has weight issues especially but I think this is The Best Name Ever for a character. Well, one of the best. Zillah. Ohhh yeah.
Zillah is also the name of a town in Washington state, located in Yakima County. The town was named after the daughter of Thomas F. Oakes, who, at the time, was president of the Northern Pacific Railway. Legend dictates Oakes told his daughter he would name the town after her if she would stop throwing a temper tantrum.
Zillah is the main character in the book "The Stone Testament" by Celia Rees.

Oooooooh no! There goes Tokyo! GodZILLAH! xDMy best friend plans on naming her daughter this and while it is one of the most beautiful names I've ever heard, I know that anytime I see her daughter I will be singing Godzilla by the Blue Oyster Cult.
