Eunika Pronunciation

What Eunika means
Where Eunika comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Eunika comes from Greek. Two parts sit inside it: eu, good or well, and nike, victory. The same nike named the Greek goddess of victory. Together they give what the name means in Polish, dobre zwycięstwo, a good victory.
The older Greek form, Eunike, appears in the New Testament. In the Second Letter to Timothy, Eunice is named as the apostle's mother and remembered for her faith. Latin borrowed the name, and Polish later reshaped it into Eunika.
On a class register the name is short and unmistakable. A teacher reads it once and moves on. There are no diminutives to fall back on, no shortened pet form waiting in the wings, so Eunika stays whole wherever it is written. The name means good victory.
When Eunika celebrates name day
Eunika appears 1 time in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 1 June.
