ArchivesEusevia?
I'm looking for information about the name Eusevia. I've never heard it before, except for a relative. Not much is known geneologically, but she said she had Native American in her, specifically Apache. However, she also spoke Spanish.
She asked everyone to call her Sylvia, so I was wondering if this could be an elaboration of Sylvia or perhaps the Spanish version of Sylvia?
Also, I've heard the name Eusebius, as a male name. I belive it is Greek or Roman, something ancient anyway... I don't know if they are connected or not.
Thanks for any help you can give!

A white rose you'll think of me.
I love you so,
Never let go.
I will be...your ghost of a rose."

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:
