English translation:Typo- it should be 'Zatza"l' - "the memory of the righteous is a blessing"

Explanation:
Based on your other queries, this clearly should be 'zatza"l', an epithet places after the name of a deceased righteous person, usually a rabbi.
In Hebrew script the 'gimel' and 'zayin' look similar, and this may have contributed to the confusion.
