    Zephyr

    Pronounced ZEF-er

    boy
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Zephyr does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "West wind; Gentle breeze", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Zephyr.
    Meaning
    "West wind; Gentle breeze"
    Origin
    Greek

    Zephyr is the gentle wind — and the Spirit moves like the wind. 'The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.' Zephyr moves with the Spirit's freedom.

    Spiritual meaning

    Zephyr blows where the Spirit wills — rushing mighty wind, house filled, born of mystery, the gentle breeze who moves with heaven's unseen power.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
