Does ZFC have an intended interpretation?

I know that PA has an intended interpretation, namely $\mathbb{N}$, and the usual axioms of the real line have an intended interpretation, namely $\mathbb{R}$. Does ZFC have an intended interpretation?

Yes it does. The intended interpretation of ZFC is the class of all hereditary well-founded sets. This class is often called the von Neumann universe.
