Zenas

Zenas is a name of Greek origin, derived from the Greek word 'Zenon' or 'Zenos', which means 'gift of Zeus'. Zeus was the king of the gods in Greek mythology, making the name carry a significant and powerful association. The name appears in the New Testament of the Bible, specifically in the Epistle to Titus (Titus 3:13), where Zenas is mentioned as a lawyer. This biblical reference contributed to its early adoption and spread within Christian communities.

While its roots are ancient Greek, Zenas has seen varying degrees of use throughout history. In English-speaking countries, it has been a relatively uncommon but consistently present name, often chosen for its classical sound and biblical connection. Its usage in America, though not widespread, reflects a tradition of drawing from biblical and classical sources for names.
