The Zonta Rose
The beauty of a single yellow rose
has been Zonta International’s
favorite symbol for decades
Since 1999 it has been the symbol of
the Zonta Rose Day , on the 8th of
March – the International Women’s
Day!
The Story of the
Zonta Emblem
The origin of the word "Zonta" is from the
language of the Sioux Indians. It was adopted in
1919 as the Zonta International name to
symbolize the combined qualities of honesty and
trust, inspiration and the ability to work together
for service and world understanding.
The Zonta emblem is an adaptation and
composite of several Sioux symbols which, when
superimposed, take on a special significance for
Zontians.
