Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words "εὖ" (eu), meaning "good" or "well," and "νίκη" (nikē), meaning "victory."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Eunice, as it is a personal name of Greek origin. However, the concept of "victory" can be related to Hebrew words such as נֵצַח (netsach, Strong's Hebrew 5331) meaning "victory" or "endurance." Usage: The name Eunice appears in the New Testament as the mother of Timothy, a young disciple and companion of the Apostle Paul. Context: Eunice is mentioned in the New Testament in the context of her faith and influence on her son, Timothy. She is noted for her sincere faith, which she passed on to Timothy, contributing to his spiritual upbringing. Eunice was a Jewish believer who, along with her mother Lois, instilled in Timothy a strong foundation in the Scriptures from an early age. This is highlighted in 2 Timothy 1:5, where Paul writes to Timothy, "I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also" (BSB). Eunice's role as a mother is significant in the early Christian community, demonstrating the impact of familial faith and instruction. Her marriage to a Greek man is noted in Acts 16:1, indicating a cross-cultural family dynamic. Despite this, Eunice maintained her Jewish faith and ensured that Timothy was well-versed in the Scriptures, preparing him for his future ministry alongside Paul.
