The Paleozoic or Palaeozoic Era, "old" and zoe, "life", meaning "ancient life" is the earliest of three geologic eras of the Phanerozoic eon. The Paleozoic spanned from roughly 542 to 251 million years ago (ICS, 2004), and is subdivided into six geologic periods. (Wikipedia)

"Paleo" is a term that originates in the Greek language and means "old" or "ancient". Thus, "Paleozoic" means "old/ancient life" and refers to a previous age in natural history.
