==Etymology== The word Gzenaya is the Arabic version of the Berber name "Igzennayen". It is believed their name comes from izinnayen (). Originally the tribe was known by the land of "Gzenaya" which means the land of beauty in the Amazigh language. Like other Riffian groups, they are believed to descend from Goliath so their neighbours, the Ait Waryaghar, jokingly refer to them as ''r- 'adhawth n-Sidna Dawud ().
