“A bold cosmopolitan name from the ancient Greek for wide”
Euro derives from the Greek word euros, meaning wide or broad, which also gives us Europe (the wide land to the west). The continent of Europe likely takes its name from this root, possibly combined with references to the mythological Europa, a Phoenician princess loved by Zeus. As a modern name, Euro evokes pan-European identity and cosmopolitan character.
Euro as a given name is essentially uncharted territory. While it exists as the name of the European common currency (introduced in 1999), using it as a personal name is extremely rare and avant-garde.
The name Europe itself comes from the Greek word euros and the mythological Europa. Using Euro as a name is a bold statement of European cultural identity or cosmopolitan values. In Japan, some parents have used internationally-inspired names like this.
