Euseby is Greek in Origin.

Euseby is an English vernacular form of the ecclesiastical name Eusebius, ultimately from Greek Eusebios (Εὐσέβιος). Built from eu ‘good, well’ and sebas ‘reverence, awe,’ it carries the sense of ‘pious,’ ‘devout,’ or ‘well‑reverent.’ The spelling Euseby reflects Middle and Early Modern English habits of trimming Latin -ius endings.

In Britain the name surfaced among scholars and clergy and occasionally in gentry lines; bearers include Euseby Isham of Northamptonshire (d. 1626) and Archbishop Euseby Cleaver (1746–1833). It appears in parish registers from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries before fading from common use. Related forms span languages: Eusebius (Latin/English), Eusèbe (French), Eusebio (Spanish/Italian), Eusébio (Portuguese), Eusebi (Catalan/Italian), and Modern Greek Efsevios/Evsevios (Ευσέβιος). Diminutives such as Seby or Seb occur in English. Rare today, Euseby offers an antique, virtue‑tinged alternative with deep Christian and classical roots.
