Meaning:Life
Zoe is a feminine name of Greek origin, meaning “life.” The Greek translation of the Hebrew title Eve, Zoe traces its roots back to the earliest days of history. Its true rise to prominence as a first name came in the 90s and 2000s, when it began to steadily rise to the top of the charts. One for a spirited tiny tot who is always eager to experience new things, Zoe will encourage your little one to seek out adventure every day. Though variants like Zoey and Zoie have become increasingly popular, Zoe is the original Greek spelling of this moniker. The Bump community member braveangel2 explains how Zoe's spelling influences its sound, "Zoe is Greek, like Chloe and Daphne, so the E does all the work of making the long E sound."
