"Ζέφυρος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See Ζέφυρος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /zdé.pʰy.ros/, /ˈze.ɸy.ros/, /ˈze.fi.ros/, /zdé.pʰy.ros/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈze.pʰy.ros/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈze.ɸy.ros/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈze.fy.ros/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈze.fi.ros/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀽𐁆𐀫 (ze-phu-ro), pointing to Proto-Hellenic *Dzépʰuros. Probably related to ζόφος (zóphos, “darkness, west”), both occasionally connected to Proto-Indo-European *(h₃)yebʰ- (“to cover > to copulate”) (whence οἴφω (oíphō)), though either the reflex of the laryngeal in οἴφω (oíphō) or its loss from ζεφ- (zeph-) would be unexplained. More likely Pre-Greek in view of the suffix -υρ- (-ur-) and distant semantics, though Beekes is unsure.

More likely Pre-Greek in view of the suffix -υρ- (-ur-) and distant semantics, though Beekes is unsure.",
