Eurus as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Eurus

What is the meaning of the name Eurus ?

The baby name Eurus is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈjuːrəs/ (YOO-rus).

Eurus is Greek in Origin.

Eurus derives from Ancient Greek Εὖρος (Euros), the personified east wind among the Anemoi. Through Latin poetry the form Eurus became standard in English. The root likely references the dawn-lit east; most interpret the meaning as "east wind" or "eastern breeze." In myth he is less prominent than Boreas or Zephyrus but embodies a changeable, sometimes rainy wind.

As a given name, Eurus is extremely rare. Antiquity used it chiefly as a divine epithet rather than a personal name; revivalist naming in the 19th–21st centuries occasionally adopts it for its classical aura and airy, directional imagery, sometimes as a unisex choice. Variants include Greek Euros, Latinized Eurus, and the Anglicized Zephyr as a thematic counterpart rather than direct variant; related wind-god names are Boreas and Notus. Possible diminutives include Euri or Rus. Meaning: "east wind; wind from the sunrise."
