Meaning & origin
Zoee is a modern spelling of the classic name Zoe, first recorded in U.S. birth data in 1991. Its popularity peaked in 2012, and it has been on a downward trend since 2011, falling to rank 5,099 in 2025. At that rank, roughly 1 in 64,291 newborn girls received the name. The spelling with double 'e' reflects a broader naming trend of elongating familiar names. Zoee has not been heavily concentrated in any particular U.S. state.
Zoee is a contemporary respelling of Zoe, which derives from the Greek word ζωή (zōē) meaning "life." The name Zoe was used in early Christian contexts, referencing the "Eve" (life) of the Septuagint, and gained popularity in English-speaking countries from the 19th century onward. Zoee follows a trend of adding extra letters to familiar names, and has been recorded in the United States since 1991.
