Zoe is a direct transliteration of the ancient Greek word 'zoe' (written 'zeta-omega-eta'). It is usually listed as meaning 'life', but it can also mean 'a (means of) living', 'subsistence', 'goods' or 'property'. It was the 54th most popular name for girls born in the US in 2006. Zoe has been falling in popularity in the UK but remained in the top 100 in 2007. It is sometimes written with an umlaut over the 'e' ('Zoë') to emphasise the second syllable.
