Eudoxia

Eudoxia (Ancient Greek: Εὐδοξία, Eudoxía), Eudokia (Εὐδοκία, Eudokía, anglicized as Eudocia) or Evdokia is a feminine given name, which originally meant "good fame or judgement" or "she whose fame or judgement is good" in Greek. The Slavic forms of the name are East Slavic: Evdokiya (Russian: Евдокия), Yevdokiya (Ukrainian: Євдокія); South Slavic: Evdokija (Евдокија), Jevdokija (Јевдокија).
