[Facts] Re: Eusevia?
Eusevia is a misspelling of Eusebia (in Spanish, V and B are both pronounced [b], so misspellings between V and B are very usual), the feminine form of Eusebio, a name from Greek origin, from the adjective eusebes, "devout, pious, fearful of the divinity".It is not related at all with Silvia (the Spanish form of Sylvia).

Eusebios is the Greek form. Anyway, Eusebia was a spirit as explained here:
