zoei is Greek in Origin.
Zoei is a contemporary English variant of the Greek name Zoe (Ζωή), meaning “life” and “vitality.” Rooted in early Christian tradition, Zoe translated the Hebrew name Eve and appeared among martyrs and noblewomen across the Byzantine world, including an 11th‑century empress. In the Anglophone sphere the name was revived in the 19th century and rose sharply from the late 20th century, with Zoe and Zoey topping charts in the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia.
Zoei adapts the spelling to signal a clear two‑syllable pronunciation (ZO-ee), paralleling Zoey while looking sleeker. Common variants and cognates include Zoe, Zoë/Zoé, Zoey, Zoie, Zoi (modern Greek), Zoya (Russian/Slavic), and Zoia (Italian/Romanian). Nicknames range from Zo and Zozo to Zuzu. Across languages the name’s enduring appeal lies in its buoyant meaning - life, liveliness, and renewal.
