Zephirus Origin and Meaning

The name Zephirus is a boy's name.

Zephirus represents a rare masculine name derived from the ancient Greek 'Zephyros,' the god of the west wind. In Greek mythology, Zephyrus was known as the gentlest of the wind deities, bringing spring breezes and heralding the change of seasons. This evocative name carries associations with gentle strength, renewal, and natural elements. While extremely uncommon as a personal name in its Zephirus form, the variant 'Zephyr' has seen modest usage in contemporary naming. The name conveys an intellectual, classical quality while maintaining connection to nature's forces. Its distinctive 'Z' beginning and mythological roots make it stand out dramatically. Parents choosing this name likely appreciate its literary and historical significance along with its uncommon, melodic quality.
