Zabrozi was a tribe mentioned by the 9th-century Bavarian Geographer (BG).
It states that the Zabrozi inhabit 212 settlements.
Their name is dual-lexeme, made up of Zab and suffix -rozi, which is also found in the Sebbirozi, Attorozi, Vuillerozi and Chozirozi.
P. Šafárik identified the name as Zaprozi and connected it to Zaporozhia, a region on the Dnieper.
A. Králiček identified it as Zabrce, a name he claimed was known since antiquity in the Carpathians that point to the Dacians, or Zabrodce, by etymology connected to Slavic brod.
