From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Now rare, and apt to excite derision, this was once a favourite ‘literary’ and fashionable name after that of ‘the brilliant queen of Palmyra’, who, after annexing Egypt, was defeated and captured by Aurelian in 272 A. D. Of Arabian birth, she probably bore, originally, ‘the true Arabic name of Zeenab (ornament of the father),’ Yonge.
Found as a female name. Derived from Zenobia Queen of Iberia, or Zenobia Queen of Palmyra. Some translate this name ‘life of Jove;’ from Ζην Jove, and βιος. Another derivation might be from ξενος a stranger, foreigner, guest, and βιος life; and, curiously enough, this latter would agree with the lives of both these celebrated women.
Greek (feminine) - Life from Zeno, lord of life.
Greek (feminine) - Gift of life, or gift of Zeno.
