Endotya is in Origin.

Endotya is a rare feminine given name with roots in Greek myth, best understood as a Slavic-influenced variant of Eidothea/Idotea (Εἰδοθέα/Ἰδοθέα), the sea-nymph daughter of Proteus who guides Menelaus in Homer’s Odyssey. Its elements trace to Greek eidos/idein “form, vision; to see” and thea “goddess,” yielding meanings such as “appearance of the goddess,” “she who reveals,” or “goddess of vision.”

In antiquity the forms Eidothea and Idotea appear in Hellenic and Latin sources and were later revived by classicizing writers; Idotea also survives in scientific nomenclature for a marine crustacean genus. Endotya itself surfaces only sporadically in modern records, typically as an ornamental or regional transliteration (compare Dorothea > Doroteya). Related variants include Eidothea, Idotea, Idothea, Eidothee, and Idothee; modern adaptations may yield Edoteya or Idoteya. Though uncommon, Endotya offers a lyrical, sea-bright option with deep classical resonance and compact nicknames like Enda, Dya, or Thea.
