Names of zodiac signs in various languages

The word zodiac comes from the Latin zōdiacus, from the Greek ζῳδιακὸς κύκλος (zōdiakos kyklos - circle of animals). ζῳδιακὸς comes from ζῴδιον (zōdion), a diminutive of ζῷον (zōon - animal). The name zodiac results from the fact that in the classical Greek zodiac half of the signs were represented by animals.
