What is the meaning of the name Eugenia ?

The baby name Eugenia is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /juːˈdʒiːniə/ (yoo-JEE-nee-ə).

Eugenia is Greek in Origin.

Eugenia stems from Greek Εὐγενία, the feminine of Eugenios, built from eu “good, well” and genos “birth, kind.” It means “well‑born,” hence “noble,” long linked with refinement. The name moved into Latin and the early Christian world, anchored by saints such as the 3rd‑century martyr Saint Eugenia.

Usage is pan‑European and extends to the Americas: English Eugenia; French Eugénie; Spanish and Italian Eugenia; Portuguese Eugénia; Romanian and Polish Eugenia; modern Greek Eugenia; Slavic Evgeniya/Evgenia (Yevgeniya), with Zhenya. A 19th‑century vogue in Britain and France, aided by Empress Eugénie de Montijo, also lifted it in the United States, where it peaked briefly in the late 1800s. Diminutives include Genie, Gina or Gena, Genia, Nia, and in Slavic use the unisex Zhenya.
