The name Zoey originates from the Greek name 'ฮฯฮฎ' (Zลฤ), meaning 'life.' It gained prominence through early Christian tradition, as Saint Zoe was a martyr in the 2nd century. The name became widely used in English-speaking countries in the 19th century and saw a resurgence in the late 20th century, particularly in the U.S. Its modern spelling, 'Zoey,' distinguishes it from the traditional 'Zoe' and reflects contemporary naming trends.
