ArchivesEudoxia and Historical characters with that name
Hello,
I would be interested if someone could help locate the accurate information concerning the name Eudoxia (I spell it as Evdoxia-so
that it will be properly pronounced in English). I know that there was a Saint Eudoxia who died in Egypt along with her mother Athanasia
and that the Eastern Orthodox celebrate the name day on January 31st.
I also know that was an empress in Russia as well as another Empress in Byzantium with the same name. If possible, please locate the correct details and years or centuries of these historical figures and include this information on your website under the name. By the way, This is a very impressive and extensive site-probably the best I have seen--congratulations on the good wotk and THANK YOU for having my name-it is extremely rare and I am always sure to never find it under any lists-this was a wonderful treat for me.

Looking at Evdoxia reminded me of this girl I went to school with. Her name was Evdokia. I'm pretty sure that Evdokia, Eudoxia, and Evdoxia all come from the same name after reading this: In 1689 Peter I of Russia, who is usually described as Peter the Great, married Eudokia Lopukhina, his first wife (Evdokia = Eudosis, Eudoxia, Eudocia, Eudosia, Eudokia; also Yevdokia; Lopuhin, Lopuhina, Lopukhine, Lopuchin, Lopuchina).

The names Eudoxia and Eudokia (Eudocia) should not be confused.
Eudokia is more popular since there are saints with that name.
Eudoxia is less popular since Eudoxia (died 404 AD), the wife if Roman emperor Arcadius, was engaged in a dispute with St. John Chrisostomatos.

You probably already know this, but Eudoxia was originally a Greek name meaning "highly regarded" (according to http://www.weddingvendors.com/baby-names/meaning/eudoxia).

Actually....
...Eudoxia does *also* mean "highly regarded".
In ancient Greek, "doxa" also means "opinion"
