The name Euodia is derived from the Greek εὐοδία (euodia), meaning 'a good journey'. It is a combination of εὖ (eu) meaning 'good' and ὁδός (hodos) meaning 'road, way, journey'. This name is briefly mentioned in Paul's epistle to the Philippians in the New Testament, though some translations suggest it may refer to a man named Euodias.
