A lot of cultures in India follow the tradition of naming the baby on the 12th day. Am not sure why this particular day is so important (anyone of you got a clue?) Also, in most of these cultures, it is the aunt's (baby's father's sister) honour to announce the name of the baby. Rituals and the joys of it all. It all ends in a good lavish meal (which the baby herself could hardly taste!) and here a bottle of bubbly charmed everyone with her surprise stop-over! Celebrations :)
And thus was baby named 'Zoeya' (meaning 'life') having it's origins in Urdu & Greek.
{ Zoe: {dzo-ay'}
Greek Origin
- Life
- the state of one who is possessed of vitality or is animate
- every living soul
- of the absolute fullness of life, both essential and ethical, which belongs to God, and through Him
- life real and genuine, a life active and vigorous, devoted to God, blessed, in the portion even in this world of those who put their trust in Christ, and to last for ever. }
