About the name Evlogi
Etymology & meaning
Evlogi comes from the Greek εὐλογία — "blessing, good word", from εὖ ("good") and λόγος ("word"). The feminine Evlogiya is rare but alive; the name's spread is typically Revival-era.
History & patron saint
The church honours Saint Eulogius in February — the calendar keeps several early hierarchs of the name, among them an archbishop of Alexandria. In Bulgaria the day gathers Evlogi and Evlogiya mid-month.
Traditions & customs
The name day is a quiet winter one — treats at home and wishes for "a blessed year", after the name's literal sense.
Popularity & notable bearers
The name is inseparable from Evlogi Georgiev — the banker and benefactor whose bequest built Sofia University, before which his statue stands beside his brother Hristo's. Rare today, the name weighs far more than its numbers.
