The name Zephyr is of Greek origin and derives from the word "Zephyrus," which refers to the west wind in Greek mythology. Zephyr was considered the god of the gentle, spring wind, bringing mild weather and flowers. The name Zephyr therefore evokes connotations of gentleness, lightness, and renewal, linked to spring. It is a rare and poetic name, often associated with a certain delicacy and artistic sensitivity.
