Etymology of Eugenia:
For prince François Eugène of Savoy (1663–1736), French-born book collector, patron of the arts and botany, one of the most successful military commanders in modern European history. For six decades he took part in many campaigns and battles. It is a tribute to his courage that during his long military career, while serving the three Habsburg Holy Roman Emperors, Leopold I, Joseph I, and Charles VI, he was wounded no less than 13 times. He distinguished himself with many victories in campaigns to save the Habsburg Empire from French conquest including the battles of Blenheim (1704), Turin (1706), Oudenarde (1708), and Malplaquet (1709), and he broke the westward thrust of the Turkish Ottomans at Petrovaradin (1716) and Belgrade (1717), thus liberating central Europe from 150 years of Turkish occupation.
