Zoey

Zoey is a phonetic spelling of Zoe, from Ancient Greek zoe meaning "life" itself. Early Christian writers adopted the name as a translation of the Hebrew name Eve, giving it deep theological resonance as the embodiment of vitality and existence. The modern Zoey spelling, which emerged in the late 20th century, lightens the name while keeping all of its vibrant core meaning intact.

Zoey ranks #43 among US pet names, with over 1,700 companions carrying it. The name captures pure energy in four letters — bright, quick, and full of forward motion. It suits companions who are alert and curious, always the first to investigate a new sound or a new scent, fully alive to everything around them. Zoey has been a top baby name in the US for over a decade, and its popularity has flowed naturally into pet naming for companions whose owners want something lively and contemporary.
