Eunike Origin and Meaning

The name Eunike is a girl's name.

Eunike is a feminine name with ancient Greek origins, derived from 'Eunice' meaning 'good victory' or 'happy victory' from the elements 'eu' (good) and 'nike' (victory). The name has biblical significance as Eunike appears in the New Testament as the mother of Timothy, a companion of the Apostle Paul. This spelling variation with a 'k' instead of 'c' reflects the original Greek spelling more closely. While relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, Eunike has seen some usage in parts of Europe and among families looking for names with classical or biblical roots. The name conveys positive connotations of triumph, success, and joy, while maintaining a graceful, feminine quality.
