Efie is Greek in Origin.
Efie is a feminine name with two main streams of use. In Scotland and England it serves as a pet form of Euphemia (Greek eu “well” + phēmē “speech, repute”), meaning “well‑spoken” or “of good repute.” It appears in kirk and parish rolls from the 16th century and was common in the 18th–19th centuries, aided by devotion to Saint Euphemia and by Victorian taste for clipped, friendly forms.
In West Africa, among Akan speakers, efie means “home; household,” and Efie occurs as an affectionate given name or a regional spelling linked to the Friday‑born girls’ names Afia/Efia/Efua. Modern variants include Effie, Effy, Efi, and the Romance Eufemia; related names are Euphemia and Afia. Usual pronunciations are EH‑fee or EE‑fee, giving Efie a vintage‑meets‑global profile.
