Eura is of Finnish origin, derived from the ancient Norse word 'Eyrar'. It means 'sea' or 'shore', reflecting its coastal roots and association with water. The name Eura was traditionally used in Finland but has since gained global recognition.
The name Eura experienced notable fluctuations in popularity over the late 19th and early to mid-20th centuries. While there were years with as many as 44 births (in 1920), other years saw only a single-digit number of newborns, such as 6 in both 1882 and 1885. The peak period for the name appears to be around the turn of the century, with consistently higher numbers of births from 1897 to 1904. After World War II, the popularity of the name declined significantly, with some years seeing fewer than 10 births each. Overall, there were a total of 1453 births recorded under the name Eura during this period.
