Eowyna is in Origin.

Eowyna is a modern, literary-derived feminine name modeled on Tolkien’s Éowyn from The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien coined Éowyn using Old English elements: éoh/eoh (“horse”) plus wynn (“joy, delight”). By extension, Eowyna carries the sense “horse-joy” or “delight in horses.” The final -a is a contemporary elaboration that softens the cadence and aligns the name with many modern feminine forms.

Usage is recent and rare, appearing mainly in Anglophone countries among fantasy readers and parents seeking Old English flavor. It has no documented pre-Tolkien medieval use. Closest variants include Éowyn and Eowyn; creative modern forms such as Eowina, Eowynne, or Eowena also occur. Nicknames may include Eo, Wyn, or Wynnie. The name’s imagery evokes the horse-loving Rohirrim culture that inspired Tolkien’s heroic shieldmaiden.
