Zenas is a masculine name of Greek origin and is the male equivalent of the Old Greek girl's name, Xenia. The meaning of both is "hospitable," allowing baby Zenas to adopt an immediate warm and welcoming feeling. Well, until baby begins to cry for the first time! Zenas is a unique name, but it has popped up several times throughout history. One such is Zenas Coffin, the 18th-century American mariner and one of the wealthiest whale oil merchants and largest shipowners of his time in Nantucket, Massachusettes. Baby Zenas may be friendly in name and spirit; now it's up to you to show them how to be warm-hearted in practice.
