What does the name Zoe mean in Chinese?

The name Zoe is often transliterated into Chinese as "佐伊" (Zuǒ Yī) or "卓伊" (Zhuó Yī), but it doesn't have a direct meaning in Chinese. The characters can be chosen for their phonetic similarity rather than meaning. "佐" can mean "to assist," while "卓" means "outstanding." Therefore, the name can carry positive connotations depending on the chosen characters.
