Etymology Unstated, and unknown, but possibly (speculation), as Mida was a minor goddess (of oaths), then Eumida was imitative of Eulalia of Savigny, a feminine personal name, derived from Greek ευλαλος (eulalos) meaning "sweetly-speaking" (eu = "good". Eumida has been treated as feminine by authors subsequent to Malmgren [details]Grammatical gender Feminine. Created as a recombination for Eulalia sanguinea Orsted, thus genus intended as feminine, as is Eulalia (whereas sanguineus would have been indication of masculine gender). Subsequent authors have treated Eumida as feminine [details]
