Meaning and background
The story behind Razzmatazz
Razzmatazz has English associations involving showy excitement, double-talk, and lively energy. The dictionary also describes a history of playful sound formation and early musical uses, while leaving some proposed influences qualified. A dog owner may enjoy the name's repeated sounds and theatrical feel. The exact spelling is worth fixing on records, since the reference notes neighboring written forms rather than one universally settled way of representing the word.
