Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

Zoe is a name of Greek origin literally meaning "life".

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno pochádza z gréckeho podstatného mena ζωή (zōḗ) s významom „život“. Ako osobné meno mohlo vzniknúť priamo z tohto všeobecného mena; podľa druhej hypotézy súvisí s gréckym prekladom hebrejského mena Eva v Septuaginte. Obe možnosti sa týkajú spôsobu vzniku mena, nie jeho jazykového pôvodu ani významu.
