Nor do I. I wondered if it might be the familiar form of a name, like Дима for Дмитрий, but I don't know of any such name.
agree zmejka : winter, wintertime

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I looked on another site and found that it meant winter, cold, chill, and snow in Czech, Polish and Serbo-croatian. I am familiar with the beverage, but it is also the name if a horse that I bought and I wondered as to the origination of the word. Thank you."

Zima Station

it's winter yes, but if a place is meant, that might be Zima - a railway station in Siberia, where the Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko was born
