Here’s an interesting name I spotted a few months ago: Zelute. It belonged to Miss Zelute B. Cheever (1796-1873) of Lynn, Massachusetts.
The name apparently comes from a Greek word — more often transliterated as zeloute — that’s used several times in the Bible. It means something along the lines of “desirous,” “covetous,” or “earnestly seeking,” but also “jealous” or “envious,” depending upon the context.
It’s related to the more familiar words zealous and zeal. (Zeal has begun popping up in the data lately, btw.)
What are your thoughts on the name Zelute? (How about Zeal?)
