Zoélie

Zoélie is a French diminutive of the name Zoé, which itself comes from the Greek word 'zoe' (ζωή), meaning 'life'. The name Zoé was adopted by early Greek-speaking Jews as a translation of the Hebrew name Eve (חַוָּה, Chavah), which also means 'life'. It gained popularity among early Christians, particularly in the Eastern Roman Empire, due to its association with eternal life.

The diminutive form Zoélie adds a touch of French elegance and softness to the original name. While Zoé has a long history, Zoélie is a more modern and less common variant, primarily found in French-speaking regions. It carries the same life-affirming meaning but with a distinct phonetic and stylistic flair.
