Euretta
A girl's name of Greek origin with 58 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Euretta peaked during early twentieth-century America, when 8 babies received this name in a single year (1913). That era was defined by heritage-rooted naming, and Euretta has a more concentrated history, reflecting a specific cultural moment rather than a broad generational wave.
Euretta is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Euretta is a girl's baby name, a variant of Etta or an elaboration of Eura, possibly from Greek Eurydice (meaning 'wide justice') or simply a creative Victorian-era coinage. Etta became famous through Etta James, the queen of soul who owned her name with incomparable style.
Vintage and slightly operatic, Euretta is for parents who love the Etta sound with a touch more grandeur.
