Hi Jennifer!
I am a frequent visitor of your site, as I love looking up different names and getting story inspiration. I am currently reading a book with main character, Eureka, which I think is a beautiful and unique name. Would you mind telling me what it means and adding it to your site? 

Thanks!
Lauren

Dear Lauren,gold

I was surprised to see that Eureka wasn’t in our database when you wrote us!  I was sure we had added it. 

Eureka is an exclamation that came from an early 17th Century Greek word, heurēka, meaning “I Found It!” The ancient outcry is said to have been used by Archimedes when he hit upon a method of assessing the purity of gold. Eureka is also a TV series and a town in California gold country.

Hope that helps! Thanks for the name, it has now been added.

Sincerely,
Jennifer
