Zephyr is of Greek origin and has a distinct meaning derived from the word "zephuros," which translates to "west wind." This name was popularized during ancient times as it was used in Roman mythology, notably for Zephyr, the west wind deity who was also a suitor of Flora, the goddess of spring. In modern times, Zephyr is often associated with tranquility and gentle breezes due to its connection to the west wind. It is a unisex name, although it has been more commonly used as a male name in recent years.
"Zephyr is a rare and unique name, with only five individuals born with this name each year in 1920."
