Meaning of Zeus
The name Zeus, pronounced as zooce (/zuːs/), is of Greek origin and holds a powerful and majestic connotation. In Greek mythology, Zeus is the king of the gods, ruler of Mount Olympus, and god of the sky, lightning, thunder, law, order, and justice. This strong association with leadership and authority makes Zeus an intriguing choice for parents seeking a name with historical significance and mythical grandeur. Despite its ancient roots, the name has seen modest but consistent usage in modern times within the United States. Notably rare in earlier decades, Zeus has gradually increased in popularity since the late 20th century. For instance, in 2023 alone, there were 179 newborns named Zeus in the U.S., ranking it at 1156. The variation "Zues" also exists but is less common.
