MEANING & HISTORY
What does Eufrasio mean?
The Real Academia Galega explains Eufrasio through feminine Euphrasia, from a Greek noun for joy or a festive feeling. It explicitly identifies Eufrasio as the Spanish equivalent as well as the Galician form.
The male name was formed from the female name in this account, so it should not be given an unrelated invented compound about eloquent speech.
