What Eufrozyna means
Where Eufrozyna comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Eufrozyna reaches back to the Greek Euphrosyne, a name built from the word for good cheer. It means mirth, merriment, cheerfulness. In Greek myth, Euphrosyne was one of the three Charites, the Graces who gave joy to gods and mortals.
The name moved east as well as into Poland. Euphrosyne of Polotsk, a twelfth-century abbess and now a patron saint, carried it into the Slavic world, where it took the form Yefrosyniia. The sisters of that Grace were named Aglaia and Thalia. That variant sits beside the Polish Eufrozyna like a cousin.
Girls named Eufrozyna are rare on a Polish class register today. The name asks for room. What holds steady underneath is the Greek sense of it, mirth.
