Zowie

Zowie is an English variant of Zoe, which itself derives from the ancient Greek word meaning life. The name gained particular cultural visibility when musician David Bowie chose it for his son Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones, born in 1971, though Jones later adopted his more familiar name. As a given name in its own right, Zowie remains rare and is largely associated with that celebrity connection. Related forms include Zoe, Zoey, and Zoie.
