Zo%c3%ab

Zoë is a Greek name derived from the word zōē, meaning life. It was adopted early by Hellenistic Jews and Christians as a translation of the Hebrew name Eve, which carries the same meaning, and it appears in early Greek translations of the Bible. The name was borne by two Byzantine empresses, most notably Zoë Porphyrogenita of the Macedonian dynasty in the eleventh century. Variant forms include Zoe, the accent-free English spelling, and the name shares its root with the scientific prefix zoo-, seen in zoology and related words.
