I see Euphrosine or Eva Rosine (used interchangeably) frequently in German
villages in Bessarabia.

I recently found the birth and marriage records of my 3rd-great-grandfather
Ludwig Heinrich Joseph in Kepa Kikolska, Poland. In both of them, his
father's name is listed as Krystyan Jozef, and his mother's as Eufrozyny of
Freder?w. This family was German but living in Poland. would these be their
original names, or their German names written in Polish? Also, I did an
Internet search on the name Eufrozyny, and it looks like the name was
originally Greek, but was adopted by Hungarians as well. Could this mean
Eufrozyny was Hungarian? If not, is there any significance to her having
this name? I'm still very new to researching my family history in this area
so please excuse my obvious ignorance if this is an easy answer.

Thanks,
