What is the meaning of the name Yevgenia ?

The baby name Yevgenia is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced YEV-GEN-ee-uh (IPA: /jɛvˈɡɛn.jə/; Russian: [jevˈɡenʲɪjə]).

Yevgenia is Russian in Origin.

Yevgenia is the Russian feminine form of a name ultimately from the Greek Eugenia, derived from eugenes "well-born, noble." It corresponds to the masculine Yevgeny (Evgeny) and entered Slavic name stock through early Christian tradition, especially the veneration of Saint Eugenia, a 3rd-century martyr, ensuring its presence in the Orthodox world. In Russia and neighboring countries it has been steady rather than trendy, familiar across the 19th and 20th centuries and still recognized today.

Transliteration accounts for its variants: Evgeniya, Yevgeniya, Evgenia, and, in Ukrainian, Yevheniia (Євгенія); the pan-European cognates include Eugenia, Eugénie (French), Eugenie (English/German), and Eugênia (Portuguese). Common Russian diminutives are Zhenya and Zhenechka. The name carries an elegant, aristocratic tone due to its "noble birth" meaning while remaining approachable through its affectionate short forms.
