Eugens

Eugens is a proper noun that may be used as a masculine given-name form or as a surname in a limited set of European language contexts. It is relatively uncommon in contemporary use and is mainly attested in historical records, genealogical sources, or as a Latinate rendering of related names.

Etymology

The form is linked to the given name Eugen (and its cognates such as Eugene). Eugen derives from the Greek eu- meaning “good” and genes meaning “born” or “of noble birth.”

Usage

In onomastic and archival sources, Eugens may appear as a pluralized or Latinized form, or as a surname derived from a paternal given name. The exact distribution and usage vary by country and historical period, with greater attestation in older records than in modern naming practices.

Notable people

There are no widely documented individuals bearing the spelling Eugens in standard reference works. If such individuals exist, they are typically noted in specialized genealogical or local historical sources rather than in general encyclopedias.
