Meaning & History
Derived from the Greek adjective εὐμενής (eumenes) meaning "well-disposed, gracious, kindly", itself derived from Greek εὖ (eu) "good, well" combined with Greek μένος (menos) "power, strength, spirit". This name was borne by Eumenes of Cardia, a 4th-century BC Greek general and satrap, as well as by Saint Eumenes, a bishop of Gortyna in Crete during the 7th century (some sources say 3rd century).
