Zenobius Origin and Meaning

The name Zenobius is a boy's name of Spanish origin.

Zenobius is a masculine name of ancient Greek origin, derived from the elements 'Zeus' (the supreme Greek god) and 'bios' meaning 'life', thus signifying 'life of Zeus' or 'living through Zeus'. This dignified name was borne by several early Christian saints, including St. Zenobius of Florence, a 5th-century bishop. Throughout history, Zenobius remained relatively uncommon but respected, often found among scholarly and ecclesiastical circles. The name carries a powerful, classical resonance with its Greek heritage and religious connections. In modern times, Zenobius has become quite rare, making it an extraordinarily distinctive choice. For families drawn to names with historical depth, classical roots, and uncommon status, Zenobius offers a grandeur rarely found in contemporary naming patterns.
