Zym (in Albanian) or Zjum (in Serbian; Зјум) is a village in the Prizren Municipality of southwestern Kosovo.
The settlement lies in the eastern part of the Has region in Kosovo, known as Prizren Has (the other being Gjakova Has[2]).
In the Ottoman Defter of 1485, Zym was part of the Nahiya of Pashtrik, and it was also known as Zybofic.
