Eurymede is Greek in Origin.

Eurymede is a feminine given name from Ancient Greek Εὐρυμέδη (Eurymēdē), built from eurys “wide, broad” and mēd- “counsel, plan; to consider,” yielding meanings such as “broad in counsel,” “far‑thinking,” or “widely prudent.” It belongs to the same naming pattern as Polymede and Amphimede, where -mede denotes counsel or cunning. In mythic sources, Eurymede appears as the name of several minor figures; some traditions even give Eurymede as the mother of the hero Bellerophon, reflecting the name’s classical pedigree.

Though known to classicists, Eurymede has seen little use as a given name in modern languages. Attested variants and transliterations include Eurymedē (scholarly), Eurymedé (French-influenced), Eurymeda (Latinized), and the related but distinct Eurymedusa. Short forms might include Eury, Rue, or Mede. With its stately Greek roots and rare profile, Eurymede fits the revival of mythic, vintage names like Eurydice, Ianthe, and Ariadne.
