Zephyr is derived from the Greek word 'zephuros', which means 'west wind'. It has been used as a name since at least the 17th century, often bestowed upon boys and sometimes girls, likely due to its association with freshness and renewal brought by the west wind. The name Zephyr was made popular by the ancient Greek myth of Zephyr and Chloris, two lovers who were transformed into flowers after their deaths. Today, it remains a unique and intriguing choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
Zephery is a unique and uncommon name with only five recorded births in total over the past decades, all occurring in the year 1955.
