The Story of Euniece
Euniece (variant spelling of Eunice) comes from the Greek Eunikg composed of eu meaning good or well and nike meaning victory. The name essentially means good victory or victorious one. It appears in the New Testament as the name of Timothy's mother, a devout Jewish woman praised by Paul for her faith, which gave the name lasting Christian prestige.
Euniece and Eunice were popular in the early 20th century in the US, particularly in African-American and devout Christian communities. The name peaked around 1920-1940 and has declined significantly since. Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founder of the Special Olympics, brought the name prominent visibility in the 20th century.
