Meaning & Origin
Eunise is a two-syllable girl's name with a open, approachable sound — ending on a vowel softens the overall impression. With only 39 recorded U.S. births, it is exceptionally rare — the kind of name most people encounter for the first time when they meet your child.
Eunise is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Eunise is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, a phonetic spelling variant of Eunice, which combines the Greek elements eu ('good') and nike ('victory'), meaning 'good victory.' In the New Testament, Eunice is the mother of Timothy and praised for her sincere faith.
The Eunise spelling softens the classical look while keeping the same dignified meaning, and has appeared in African American communities as a way of personalizing this long-standing biblical name.
