Zowie

Zowie is an English variant of Zoe, itself derived from the ancient Greek word zōē, meaning life. The name gained particular cultural visibility when David Bowie chose it for his son Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones, born in 1971, lending it an unconventional, rock-era association. It remains rare as a given name, used occasionally in English-speaking countries as an informal or phonetic respelling of Zoe. Related forms include Zoe, Zoey, and Zoé.
