Rare enough to double-check
Zoff is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as aproper noun, transcribed \ˈd͡zɔff\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Nom de famille italien.".
We couldn't generate a plausible misspelling set for Zoff, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable French rules. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, suggesting its spelling stands apart enough that readers rarely confuse it with something else.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct French form is Zoff, spelled Z-O-F-F.
