The Greek name Evdoxia (feminine form) and Evdoxos (masculine form) was prevalent in the ancient world. In early Christianity, it entered Slavic lands, where it was adapted and linked to Orthodox traditions. Historically, the name gained special veneration through the Life of Evdoksiy Kaliksh (IV century).
