Eulice
Primarily a boy's name of Greek origin with 234 recorded births. Also given to 5 girls.
Meaning & Origin
Among U.S. boy's names, Eulice is not in the current national top 1,000. In fact, it is among the rarest names in the SSA dataset — a choice that signals bold individuality.
Appearing in records from 1915 to 1954, Eulice has a solid multi-decade track record without being a permanent fixture — it belongs to a specific chapter of American naming.
Eulice is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Eulice is a boy's and girl's baby name of Greek origin, a variant of Ulysses or Eulius — from Greek Odysseus, meaning 'wrathful' or 'hateful to fate,' though traditionally the name of the great wandering hero of Homer's epic. The Eu- prefix adds the Greek meaning of 'good' or 'well.'
Eulice carries the adventurous spirit of the odyssey tradition. It's rare and classical, with the dignified, old-American sound of 19th century given names that drew on classical antiquity for inspiration.
EtymologyShow more
Names travel. They cross oceans, change spelling, shift pronunciation, and accumulate new associations with each culture that adopts them. Eulice is rooted in the Greek tradition, but its presence in American naming since 1915 means it has been shaped by English phonetics, local customs, and the cultural context of the families who chose it.
Eulice’s rarity (234 recorded births) may indicate it is strongly tied to a specific cultural community or family tradition, rather than part of the broader American naming mainstream.
