What is the meaning of the name Eurynome ?

Eurynome is Greek in Origin.

Eurynome derives from Ancient Greek Ευρυνόμη (Eurynómē), built from eurys “wide, broad” and nomos “law, custom; pasture.” The sense ranges from “wide-ruling” and “broad order” to the pastoral “she of the wide pastures,” reflecting nomos’s dual meaning in classical Greek.

In myth, Eurynome names several figures: an Oceanid who with Zeus mothered the Charites (Graces); in some theologies, the consort of Ophion who reigned before the Olympians; and a mortal attendant of Penelope in the Odyssey. Carried through Latinized literature, the name surfaced in antiquarian and neoclassical circles but has remained strikingly rare as a given name. Variants and transliterations include Eurynome, Eurinome, and Eurynóme; in Modern Greek Ευρυνόμη appears as Evrinómi/Evrynomi. Possible short forms are Eury and Nomi. Not to be confused with Eurynomos, a separate masculine name in antiquity. Its mythic pedigree and expansive meaning suit parents seeking an elegant, archaic rarity.
