The second is maybe just interesting to me: Euboea is an old way of transcribing Εὔβοια, the name of the large Greek island where this variety of Greek was spoken and written. In my Masters degree in Edinburgh, I had a classmate, Evia. She is named for that island, and "Evia" is the modern transliteration of Εὔβοια.

So, in a way, she is named after a place that turned out to be a nursery for an early version of the Latin alphabet.
