Zea
Meaning of Zea
Pronounced ZEE-uh, Zea traces its roots to ancient Greek—where it denoted “grain” or “life” and later named the genus of maize—imbuing the name with associations of nourishment and growth. It also evokes Zea Harbour in Piraeus, suggesting sunlit ports and maritime calm. Though it ranked around 937th in U.S. popularity in 2024 with just thirteen newborns registered, Zea has attracted attention as a concise, three-letter alternative to more common choices. Its blend of classical pedigree and modern brevity offers parents an understated yet resonant name that carries the quiet promise of new beginnings.
