History & Origin

Eutha is a short American name of the early twentieth century, most plausibly a clipping of Euphemia, 'well-spoken', built on the Greek eu-, 'good, well'. Whether a shortening or a name in its own right, it belongs to the era's fondness for compact, eu- opening names.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year around 1923, and it had faded by midcentury. A girl named Eutha then would be a great-grandmother today.

Did you know? Eutha shares the Greek eu-, 'good', with Eula, Eunice and Euphemia, a cluster of gentle names that felt current a century ago.
