While not extremely common, Zeno has maintained a steady presence in naming trends, particularly among those interested in philosophy or classical culture. Its popularity peaked in ancient times but has seen occasional revivals.
The primary inspiration for the name Zeno often comes from its connection to ancient Greek philosophy.
