Zephyr

The name Zephyr has its roots in Greek mythology, where Zephyros was the personification of the western wind. In Greek mythology, Zephyros was one of the four Anemoi, or wind gods, and was known for his gentle and mild nature.

The word 'zephyr' itself has come to mean a soft, gentle breeze or wind. Giving a child this name may be seen as a way to symbolize a gentle, calm, and free-spirited nature.

While the name is more commonly used for boys, it can also be considered a gender-neutral name, as the concept of a gentle breeze is not inherently masculine or feminine.

In modern times, the name Zephyr has gained popularity as a unique and nature-inspired name choice, particularly among parents who appreciate its Greek mythological origins and its connection to the natural world.
