Meaning & History
The first element of this name is derived from Greek εὖ (eu) meaning "good, well". The second element is uncertain; it might possibly be derived from the Greek verb μαίομαι (maiomai) meaning "to seek after, to seek for" or from the (hitherto unknown) masculine equivalent of the Greek noun μαῖα (maia) meaning "good mother, foster mother" (see MAIA (1)).
