Zenobia
Pronounced zeh-NOH-bee-ah
girl
Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Zenobia does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Life of Zeus; Force of life", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Zenobia.

Spiritual meaning
Zenobia lives by God's breath — dust animated, the Almighty's breath giving life, the living soul whose vitality is the Spirit's own creative force.
