I've always suspected this could be a plausible link, Zywa/Síf.
 
If Si:f is Germanic, then < *si:Bo:, *si:Bjo:, *tsi:B-, *ksi:B- ?, *sihiB-?
If its not could come from an adstratum para-Slavic *z^i:va: > *zi:va: > *si:Bo: ?

The Germanic goddess Sif, ON <sif> "family (in law?)", Thor's wife. I
think she's just another incarnation of Freya. Their names mean roughly
the same.
