I have personally had this name for 52 years and I adore it. I often see it misspelled or hear it mispronounced but when you finally hear someone who says it effortlessly and with conviction, it is simply beautiful to hear. It is pronounced exactly as it is spelled but you oftentimes have people add extra to it. It's easier to phonetically pronounce my name so that others can catch on and actually see that it is not that difficult of a name.

The Polish form of this name is Eufrozyna, and the Portuguese form is Eufrosina. One of my Polish great-great-grandmothers was named Eufrozyna, though she changed it when she moved to Brazil.

Euphrosyne was the daughter of Andronikos Kamateros, a high-ranking official who held the titles of megas droungarios and pansebastos and his wife, an unknown Kantakouzene. She was related to the Emperor Constantine X and Irene Doukaina, empress of Alexios I Komnenos. Both of her brothers had rebelled against Andronikos I Komnenos; one was imprisoned and the other was blinded.
