Tizi Ouzou (Berber: Tizi n Wuzzu, ⵜⵉⵣⵉ ⵡⴻⵣⵣⵓ, Algerian Arabic: تيزي وزو) is a city in north central Algeria. It is among the largest cities in Algeria.
The name comes from the Berber language Tizi n Uzzu and is pronounced Tizuzzu, commonly Tizi which means the "mountain pass", while Azzu means the "Forsythia" (the preposition n "of" is not pronounced here). That is why the city is often referred to as "The gap of Forsythia".
