According to some sources, Zoji La means the "mountain pass of blizzards" in ladakhi. actually, the word for blizzard is བུ་ཡུག (wylie bu-yug), Zoji is actually Du-Zhi-la, the goddess of Tibetan’s four seasons; the Du-Zhi-lha-mo དུས་བཞི་ལྷ་མོ . Legend terms her the wife of Naropa. With time people changed it to Zojila. This is wholly based on oral transmission that survived among the local people

La légende la qualifie d'épouse de Naropa. Avec le temps, les gens l'ont changé en Zojila. Ceci est entièrement basé sur la transmission orale qui a survécu parmi la population locale
