My name is Zoya, and I love my name. I searched it many places and I got two meanings: 'life' and 'love'. It also made me happy that one of my favourite strong characters shares my name - Zoya Nazyalensky!
A fictional bearer of this name is Zoya from the mobile game Path To Nowhere, the exceedingly powerful wolf-themed leader of the group The Legion and playable character, notable for her proud, strong attitude and broadly egalitarian ideals.
Zoya came to Russian from the language of the ancient Greeks. In Greek, the meaning of the name Zoya is “life”. There is another version that the name Zoya came from the name Eve and was transformed when transferred from one language to another.
Zoya is nice! Much better than Isabel Slowinski! Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh! I love the nail polish Zoya too And the healthcare!
Zoya is also a name found in Bulgaria. Zoya's name day is January 26, the same day as for the names Zhivko and Zhivka, which also mean "life." [noted -ed]
Russian name days for Zoya: 26 February; 15 May; and 31 December.
