How Zoey Sounds in Japanese
Zoey becomes ゾーイ (Zōi) in Japanese. The "Z" sound is maintained using ゾ, the "oe" diphthong becomes ーイ (a long vowel followed by i), preserving the name's lively Greek meaning of "life."
Zōi has a distinctive, vibrant quality in Japanese — the Z-sound is less common in Japanese names, making it stand out memorably. The Greek origin meaning "life" connects to universal values across cultures.
