- The presence of a diaeresis in Zoë signals to a German speaker that the 'e' must be pronounced as a distinct syllable rather than blending into the 'o'.
- Because the name Zoe is derived from the Greek word for 'life', it is often associated with the concept of Lebenskraft or life force in German spiritual contexts.
