Can we use this name even if we are not related to its origins?

Zev

Really crushing on this name. Love the meaning of "wolf". It's easy to spell, pronounce and short enough to stay as a full name and not turn into any nn. However we have no connection to Israel or Judaism which just about happens to be its origins (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Would it be wrong to use it? We wouldn't want to cause any harm or look pretentious at all by using a name we have no real connection to?

It's a great name. I think it's fine to be inspired by other cultures. The wolf meaning is good too.

Love it. my sons name is Reuben, which is apparently Jewish or biblical or both? I don't know I'm atheist but loved the name!

It’s a name .. you love? Use it! Better than some names people come up with! It’s a lovely name

I'm quite surprised by everyone's positive reactions to the name! I heard it ages ago and for some reason it didn't come back to my mind until today and I'm so happy it did.

Love it

I know 4-5 Ze'evs (Jewish area). The youngest one is "Zev" as his parents didn't want an apostrophe in the middle of a name, or to have people pronounce it like "sieve"
