zhozh is derived from Arabic fus7a, originally in Arabic fus7a it's zawj زوج, meaning a pair or a couple, in Moroccan we say zhozh or simply jooj. some people in Morocco even say zooj, so it's very close to arabic fus7a, and therefore doesn't have anything to do with Berber,
and about my name it's either سليم in Morocco, or سالم in many other arab countries.
