Ze’ev (Hebrew: זְאֵב / זאב zeév) is a masculine given name relatively common among Ashkenazi Jews especially those living in the State of Israel. It is a Biblical name adapted from a reference to Benjamin in Genesis as a wolf that raveneth. It re-appeared in relatively recent times as a translation of the Yiddish name װאָלףֿ / װאלף Volf or Wolf meaning literally Wolf in English.
