Zephyr
Zephyr Origin and Meaning
Zephyrus was the Greek god of the west wind, and all names associated with him have a pleasantly gentle, breezy feel. With its cool Z initial and similarity in sound to Stephie and Serafina, Zephyr has been rising up the US charts in recent years as a unisex name.
Given to 42 girls and 188 boys in a recent year, this is an impressive rise, given that the name was rarely used before the 2000s. For every girl called Zephyr, there are at least five boys but this could even out in the future.
Frequently seen in computer and video games thanks to its mystical quality, Zephyr is also a character in the children's book Silverwing, and in the Babar books--as a monkey. It features in the TV series My Little Pony, the short animated film How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming, and in the manga series, One Piece.
