Meaning & Story

A variant of Zebedee or a short form of Zebediah — from Hebrew meaning 'God's gift' — with a warm, slightly old-fashioned Biblical quality.

Zeb is a name with the quiet dignity of something well-worn and well-loved. It has a frontier, old-Western quality — honest, unpretentious, and solid. For a dog who is exactly what he appears to be and makes no claims to being otherwise, Zeb has the perfect combination of character and ease.
