What Ewarysta means
Where Ewarysta comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Ewarysta comes from Greek. The source is euarestos, εὐάρεστος, built from eu, meaning well, and a root tied to areskein, to please. The short meaning sits right on the surface: well pleasing, or in Polish bardzo miły, przyjemny. Few names translate themselves this cleanly.
The masculine form belonged to an early bishop of Rome, Evaristus, whose feast falls on 26 October. Ewarysta is the feminine shaped from the same word. It stays uncommon in Poland. On a school register it would sit alone, no second Ewarysta in the class.
Named Ewarysta, a child wears a compliment. The Greek adjective did not describe a face or a fortune. It named the effect a person has, the quality of being agreeable to those around her. That sense runs from the ancient euarestos straight to the Polish gloss, przyjemny.
