Euda, derived from the Greek word 'eu', meaning good or well, is a unique and enchanting feminine given name. It's pronunciation mirrors that of the common name "Eva", yet it carries its own distinct charm and character. The name Euda is believed to have originated as a variant spelling of the name Eudocia, which was borne by several early saints in the Eastern Church. However, unlike many names with religious origins, Euda has not been widely popular throughout history, making it all the more intriguing and uncommon today. In some cultures, the name Euda might be associated with positivity and well-being due to its Greek etymology, while in others, it may simply stand out as a beautiful and unusual moniker for a child or individual.
The name Euda had a notable period of popularity around the early 20th century with peaks in the years 1902, 1905, 1913, and 1918, each seeing five births. The highest year was 1922 with seven births. However, its usage tapered off thereafter, with only five births recorded in 1934. In total, there were 38 births registered under the name Euda during this period.
