mistransliterated how? In Northern Italian pronunciation, word-initial
/z/ is typically [dz], which is phonotactically impossible in French;
its simplification to /s/ makes sense, given how rare word-initial /z/
is in French anyway (pace Eleonora, I don't suppose etymology had
anything to do with it). /ʎ/ → /j/ is also typical in
Italian-to-French borrowings.

Cheers,

A.
