== Etymology == The ancient Greek noun {{lang|grc|εὖρος}} (''eûros'') refers to the wind that blows from the east.{{sfn|Liddell|Scott|1940|loc=s.v. [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aalphabetic+letter%3D*e%3Aentry+group%3D303%3Aentry%3D*eu%29%3Dros εὖρος]}} Its ultimate etymology is not clear, although it has been variously connected to the Greek words for the dawn ({{langx|grc|ἠώς}}, ''ēṓs'') and aura ({{langx|grc|αὔρα}}, ''aúra'').{{sfn|Liddell|Scott|1940|loc=s.v.
