Zero
Meaning of Zero
The name Zero, pronounced ZEE-roh (/ˈziːroʊ/), is a unique and unconventional choice for a baby boy. Originating from the Italian word "zero," which in turn comes from the Arabic "ṣifr," meaning "empty" or "nothing," the name carries a modern, edgy appeal. While it may be rare, with only a handful of occurrences each year in the United States—8 newborns in 2022 and 5 in 2021—it stands out for its distinctiveness. Zero can also be seen as a symbol of new beginnings, potential, and limitless possibilities, making it an intriguing option for parents seeking a non-traditional yet meaningful name. Variations like "Zer0" add to its futuristic vibe, appealing to those with an affinity for technology and innovation.
