Origin: Greek

Meaning: Wide justice

Eurydice is a girl’s name of Greek origin and a great way to awaken the Greek myth maven in your little one! Springing sweetly from the Greek expression eurydike, which means “wide justice,” the name Eurydice tells a tragic tale of courage, tenacity, and true heroism. As Hellenic lore has it, Eurydice, a nymph both noble in character and name, was bitten by a snake and sent to the Underworld, where her husband Orpheus would lyre his way to the hearts of Pluto and Persephone. While all efforts were futile for these ill-fated lovers, naming your little one Eurydice is a lovely ode to the legacy of valor they leave behind.
