Who was Zeu s and diones child?

How did Zeus get his Roman name?
Zeus has it's roots in the Indo-European name "Dyeus" which means, simply, "god". Often, poetically, he was referred to as Zeu pater, or "father Zeus". In Latin, the name Jove (which comes from Iovs and further back from dyeus) was similarly combined with father and we get Iov pater which was shorted to Iuppiter, or Jupiter.
