Zoey is a modern spelling variation of Zoe, the Greek Jewish translation of Eve. For a few years, it was even more popular than the original Zoe, but has now dropped back to the second-ranked spelling — not by much, however. In a recent year, Zoe ranked at #29 in the US, which Zoey featured at #59.
 
Despite its Jewish origins, Zoe was historically more popular among Christians. Two early saints were named Zoe — Saint Zoe of Rome and Saint Zoe of Pamphylia.
 
Zoey has become a screenwriters' fave, with characters by that name appearing on Zoey 101, Nurse Jackie and The West Wing. More recently, it appeared in hit movie, KPOP Demon Hunters.
 
This spelling was chosen for 3600 girls in the US the latest count while Zoe was given to 5719 babies, though when you combine the two (and include the Zoie spelling too), the name feels like a Top 20 choice, similar in ranking to Eleanor, Luna, and Violet. 
 
Zoey also ranks in the UK and New Zealand — though Zoe is preferred — The Netherlands — where Zoë is the higher ranking form — and in Canada and the Philippines, where Zoey is the top option.
