Meaning of baby name?

Question:

Meaning of baby name?

Does anyone know the meaning and/or origin of the name Euzela or Uzela (eu-zee-la)? I had a great-aunt born in the early 1900s named this and would like to name my new baby after her. I have seen it spelled both ways.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Eu-zela is Greek.

"Eu" is good. "Zela" from "Zelos" is eager for or striving after or emulating. (Think of "zeal", "zealous", "zealot").

So Euzela would either be "she who emulates or strives after the good" or "she who strives or emulates well".
