Eos is also used as a masculine name in Greek. Some evidence for this is that Eos is used as a name element in unisex and masculine Greek names, such as Eosphoros/Eosphorus. However, Eos is more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be changed from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine".Sources: https://www.names.org/n/eos/about https://forebears.io/forenames/eos
I really don’t like this name, this is borderline hideous. There are other names that mean “dawn” like Aurora, Zora, or even Dawn itself. But if you like it, be my guest.

Cool, but reminds me way too much of the lip balm.
I have just recently discovered this name and I think it is gorgeous! Irish Pearl's description made the name even prettier in my opinion.I like Ouaie's pronunciation of the name the best, if he/she is correct. :)
No, no, no! This name should NEVER be pronounced EE-ohs or EE-aws. The first letter, eta, makes the long "ay" sound. The second, omega, makes the long "oh" sound, and the sigma at the end makes the "s" sound, of course. Therefore, this name is accurately pronounced "AY-ohs."
I love the name, and the Goddess has always been depicted beautifully in history--much like the classic depiction of angels, with reddish or gold wings. The sister to Helios, the sun God, before Apollo became the more well-known god of that posistion.The Greek Aurora, but Eos is a much softer, more classic name for such a deity. I only wish I knew the standard pronunciation for the name, rather than what I'm assuming it is. But "EE-ohs", according to the last comment, sounds about right.
