Origin
Meaning and history of Zoiee
The name Zoiee is a modern variation of the Greek name Zoe, which means "life" or "to live." It is believed to have originated from the ancient Greek language, spoken in various regions of Greece and the Mediterranean region during ancient times.
The earliest known use of the name Zoe dates back to ancient Greek mythology, where it was the name of one of the Oceanids, the three thousand daughters of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. Zoe was also mentioned in various ancient Greek texts, including works by Hesiod and Homer.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Zoe was Zoe Karbonopsiná, a Byzantine empress who reigned as the senior co-ruler of the Byzantine Empire from 1042 to 1050 AD, alongside her sister Theodora.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals with the name Zoe, including:
1. Zoe Caldwell (born 1933), an Australian actress known for her work on stage and screen.
2. Zoe Kazan (born 1983), an American actress and playwright.
3. Zoe Saldana (born 1978), an American actress known for her roles in films such as Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy.
4. Zoe Lund (1962-1999), a Danish model and actress.
5. Zoe Wanamaker (born 1949), an American-British actress known for her work in television and theater.
The modern variation, Zoiee, is a relatively recent spelling that has gained popularity in some English-speaking countries. While it retains the essence of the Greek name Zoe, the added letters and unique spelling give it a distinct and contemporary flair.

FAQ
Zoiee: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Zoiee?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 149 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Zoiee going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 2,300,365 US residents.
Is Zoiee a common name?
We classify Zoiee as "Very Rare". It ranks above 70.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 150 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Zoiee most popular?
The single biggest year for Zoiee was 2016, when 15 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Zoiee is about 13 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Zoiee in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Zoiee a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Zoiee in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Zoiee still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Zoiee in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Zoiee can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
