Meaning & History

Derived from Greek ἐπίχαρις (epicharis) meaning "pleasing, charming". This was the name of a 1st-century Roman freedwoman who was a member of the Pisonian conspiracy against the emperor Nero. It was also borne by two early Christian martyrs.

After the Revolution, it was occasionally used as a feminine given name in France.
