Eudoxia, or Eudokia (often Latinized as Eudocia; East Slavic Евдокия, Євдокія, Yevdokiya) is the English language transliteration of the Greek feminine personal name Ευδοκία (Ευδοκία/Evdokia or Ευδοξία/Evdoxia). It was mainly popular in late antiquity and in the Middle Ages, but is still in use today. It may refer to the following:

Saints

  • Saint Eudokia the Empress, wife of Theodosius the Younger, in Palestine († 460), August 13[6][9]
  • Righteous Eudokimos of Cappadocia (9th century), July 31[10]
  • Saint Eudokimos the Unknown (the newly-revealed), monk of Vatopedi, Mt. Athos, whose relics were uncovered on 5 October 1840, October 5[6][15][note 4]

Other

  • Eudoxias, a city and bishopric in the late Roman province of Galatia Secunda, in Asia Minor.



Notes

  1. The memory of this little girl is preserved in the Jerusalemitic Canonarion, p. 107. She is otherwise unknown in the Synaxaria.
  2. There is some confusion in the Synaxaria between this Eudokia (Eudok-ia) and the martyr Ia:
    • Martyrs Ia and 9,000 with her in Persia (363) - also August 4.
  3. She is also commemorated on July 7, the day of her repose.
  4. This Venerable Saint lived in the Monastery of Vatopedi, and was given the name "Eudokimos" after his holy relics were discovered on October 5, 1840.
