            Zephyrus comes from ancient Greek mythology, where Zephyrus was the god of the west wind, considered the gentlest of the wind deities. The name literally means 'west wind' or 'western one' in Greek. Historically, Zephyrus was depicted as a benevolent god who brought spring breezes, helping flowers bloom and crops grow. As a given name, Zephyrus remains extremely rare, offering unmistakable classical flair. The more simplified form 'Zephyr' has gained modest usage in recent years as parents explore nature-themed names with historical depth. Zephyrus appeals to families drawn to mythological names with poetic qualities and distinctive sounds. The name's strong 'z' beginning and flowing, classical ending create a memorable impression, while its connection to gentle winds provides a positive natural association despite its uncommon usage.
