Zoe Marriott: Hello. My name is Zoe Marriott, and even though I come from England, my name is quite international. My full name is Zoe Davina Marriott, although you won't see Davina on the cover of any books, because I hate it. But my first name is Greek, and it means life. My second name comes from my father, and it means beloved. My surname is a medieval French name coming from a diminutive or pet name for a girl, Marriott, and it means a wished-for child. So that means that my name is life beloved a wished-for child. I think that knowing that has meant that the names in my book are very important and the meanings of the names as well.
