About Evgeniya
Evgeniya, a Bulgarian form of Eugenia, traces its roots to the Ancient Greek name "Eugénios (Εὐγένῐος)." This name combines the elements "eû (εὖ)" (well) and "gen- (γεν-) gígnomai (γίγνομαι)" (to come into being, to be born, to become), bestowing the meaning of "well-born, well come."
In Western Europe, the name gained popularity during the Middle Ages due to the renowned Prince Eugene of Savoy, a brilliant military commander and influential figure in the Imperial court of Vienna. Other notable figures who bore this name include Blessed Eugenia Smet, the founder of the Holy Souls' Helpers' Society, and Pope Eugenius I, who served as Pope from 10 August 654 to his death in 657. These associations have contributed to the name's enduring appeal and its prevalence in Bulgarian culture.
