Meaning & History
Means "of wide power, with far-reaching might" from the Greek elements εὐρύς (eurys) "wide" and βία (bia) "force", with all of its connotations. This was the name of the ancient Greek goddess of the mastery of the sea; she did not so much preside over the whole, but rather the external influences such as seasonal weather, the power of the winds and the rise of constellations which were believed to influence it. Hesiod described Eurybia as 'having a heart of flint within her'.
