Eugenia is a name of Greek origin, derived from the Latin word 'eugenium', meaning 'well-born' or 'nobly born'. It was popularized by Saint Eugenia, a 3rd-century Christian martyr.
In many European cultures, Eugenia is associated with modesty, humility, and kindness. In some Slavic traditions, it's considered a name for those who will have a long and prosperous life.
People named Eugenia are often seen as gentle, compassionate, and thoughtful individuals with a strong sense of empathy and a desire to help others.
The name Eugenia remains a popular choice in many countries, particularly in Eastern Europe and Latin America. In recent years, it has gained popularity in the United States as well, perhaps due to its unique and feminine sound.
