Euridice is Greek in Origin.

Euridice is the Romance-world rendering of the ancient Greek name Eurydice (Ευρυδίκη). It joins eurys, "wide, broad," with dike, "justice, right, custom," yielding meanings such as "broad justice," "she who is widely just," or "of wide right." The spelling without y reflects Italian influence and appears in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese contexts (with an accent as Eurídice in Iberian usage).

The name’s cultural profile is anchored in Greek myth: Eurydice, the nymph and wife of Orpheus, whose attempted retrieval from Hades has inspired art for millennia. Several Macedonian queens also bore the name in antiquity, reinforcing its regal associations. Euridice/Eurydice echoes through music history in Peri’s and Caccini’s Euridice (1600-1602) and Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice (1762). International variants include English and French Eurydice, Italian Euridice, Spanish and Portuguese Eurídice, German Eurydike, Polish Eurydyka, and Modern Greek Evridiki (Ευρυδίκη).
