Zephyr

The meaning of Zephyr is ‘west winds’. It is gender-neutral name and is of Greek origin. It comes from the name of the god of west winds, Zephyr. The name comes from the Greek word 'zófos', which means 'west' or 'where the sun sets'. Zephyr, who was also known as Zephyrus, is said to have lived in a cave in Thrace. He is referred to as an Anmemoi, which is the term for a wind god. He is a descendant of two Greek gods, Eos and Astraeus. He brought the gentlest of winds, known as the fructifying winds that started spring. Thus, another name for him is god of spring. He had a rivalry with Apollon, who was in love with a Spartan prince named Hyacinth. According to tradition, Hyacinth is believed to have been killed by Zephyr in a jealous rage. He is thought to be the husband of Iris, the rainbow goddess. The backstory of a comic book character named Zephyr who can manipulate the winds and belongs to an organization called 'The Elementals' is based on Zephyr's story.
