Meaning & History
The first element of this name is probably derived from the Greek adjective εὐθύς (euthys) meaning "straight, direct" as well as "immediately, at once, right away". However, a derivation from the Greek adjective εὐθής (euthes) meaning "righteous, upright" is also possible. The second element is derived from the Greek noun κριτής (krites) meaning "judge, critic".
