Eugene Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. Greek εύγένειος ‘noble’, ‘well-born’, Latin Eugenius. There were four popes of this name, the first (d. 657) being canonized. Eugenio has been fairly common in Italy, but its wider diffusion was due to the fame of Prince Eugène of Savoy (1663-1736), the brilliant general after whom e.g. Richard Steele’s 2nd s. (b. 1712) was named. Eugene is now sometimes used in England, oftener in the USA. Eugenius occurs in lists of early kings of Scotland, but it then represents a Gaelic name (see Ewen).
M. In Greek, ‘well-born,’ this is one of a group of names beginning with’Eu, ‘well’ or ‘happily’: cf. the next five ‘ Christians’ and see Evangeline. The Greek Eugenios became the Roman Eugenius, the French Eugene and the German Eugen. It was Prince Eugene of Austria whose fame as a general against the Turks and the French (for the French have ever been chivalrous foes) for a full score of years (1697-1717) popularised his name in both France and, through his association with Marlborough in 1704-09, England.
A name derived from Eugenius. See Eugenia.
Greek (masculine) - Well-born, of noble descent.
