Meaning & History
Meaning uncertain. It might possibly be derived from Greek εὐνῶν (eunon), which is the genitive plural of the Greek noun εὐνή (eune) meaning "bed". In the plural, that word can also refer to stones that are thrown from a ship and used as anchors. As such, the meaning of this name could more or less be "anchor".Also compare Doric Greek εὐνά (euna) meaning "marriage", which is related to the aforementioned εὐνή (eune) meaning "bed".
