Male Ukrainian name (Зеновій)
Zenovii (Ukrainian: Зеновій) is a male name of Greek origin meaning «life of Zeus», «one whose life was given by Zeus» — from the name of the supreme god of the ancient Greek pantheon.
The name derives from Ancient Greek Ζηνόβιος (Zēnóbios), formed from Ζηνός (Zēnós, the genitive of Zeus's name) and βίος (bíos, «life»). In the Greco-Roman world it was common among aristocratic families; the feminine form is Zenobia (famous Queen of Palmyra, 3rd century). In Christian tradition Zenovii entered through Saint Zenobius, Bishop of Aegae (4th century), a martyr. It came to the Slavs through Byzantine literature; in the Ukrainian tradition it is especially common in Western Ukraine.
From Greek Zēnóbios: Zēnós (genitive of «Zeus») + bíos («life») — «life of Zeus».
