There are a number of competing explanations for the meaning of the name:

  • the slavic term zdenac, meaning a well
  • from the slavic term zidati, meaning to build or to create
  • Slavic version of the name Sidonius (meaning of Sidon)
  • as a diminutive of the given names Zdeslav or Zdeněk. There are also claims connecting it to the name Sidney. Denny can be used as a short form (hypocorism) of the name. The female form is Zdenka/Zdeňka.
