Zoë is a Greek name derived from the word zōē, meaning life. It was adopted by early Christians as a translation of the Hebrew name Eve, reflecting the same essential meaning, and was borne by several early martyrs and saints in the Eastern Church. The name spread widely through the Byzantine world and enjoyed a major revival in English-speaking countries during the twentieth century. Related forms include Zoe, the unaccented spelling common in English, and the Italian and Spanish variant Zoé.
