Meaning and history
Feminine form of Eugenius (see Eugene), Eugénia was borne by a semi-legendary 3rd-century saint who escaped persecution by disguising herself as a man. The name appeared occasionally in England during the Middle Ages, but it did not come into regular use until the 19th century.
Eugenia moved from #898 to #965 for girls between 1983 and 1984. Its highest annual birth count came in 1919, with 606 births.
