Eunys is Cornish, Greek in Origin.

Eunys is a rare modern feminine form of Eunice, ultimately from the Greek name Eunike, composed of eu “good, well” and nike “victory,” hence “good victory.” The name entered Christian tradition through the New Testament (Eunice, mother of Timothy) and later gained traction in English-speaking countries via Puritan use, with broader popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Eunys appears as a contemporary respelling that matches the common pronunciation YOO-niss and may also echo the Welsh -ys ending seen in names like Gladys and Nerys.

Standard variants include Eunice (English, Spanish, Portuguese), Eunike (modern Greek), and Eunika (Polish and other Slavic languages), with English phonetic spellings such as Eunis and Eunyce occasionally found. Informal short forms include Eunie/Euni. While still uncommon in records, Eunys carries the same uplifting meaning and classical roots as Eunice with a crisper, minimalist look.
