History & Origin

Zoii respells Zoe, a Greek name meaning 'life' that was used by early Greek-speaking Christians as a translation of Eve. As Zoe soared for American girls in the two-thousands, decorative spellings such as this one branched off. Zoii appears in United States birth records only in recent years.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high in the late twenty-tens, so a Zoii from that peak is a young child today. It reads as a stylish modern respelling of a classic name.

Did you know? Zoii keeps the ancient meaning of Zoe, 'life,' while dressing it in a doubled -ii ending, a very modern spelling habit.
