Zephora is a charmingly breezy name with ancient Greek roots—derived from “Zephyros,” the personification of the west wind—yet it feels perfectly fresh for today’s little girls. Pronounced zeh-FOR-uh (/zɛˈfɔrə/), it carries an airy elegance, like a gentle breeze at dawn whispering promises of new adventures. Although it remains delightfully rare in the U.S.—hovering around just five to seven newborns a year and ranking near No. 950—its scarcity only adds to its appeal. Zephora suggests a free spirit, a joyful soul who brings warmth wherever she goes, and for families seeking a name that feels both timeless and uplifting, it’s a breath of fresh air with plenty of room to grow.
