Usage: Zattu is used as a name for a family or clan that returned from the Babylonian exile.

Context: Zattu is mentioned in the context of the return from the Babylonian exile. The name appears in the genealogical records of those who returned to Jerusalem and Judah.

The mention of Zattu in these records highlights the importance of family lineage and the collective effort in rebuilding the community and religious life after the exile.
