Latinized form of Greek Εὐρώπη (Europe), which meant “wide face” from εὐρύς (eurys) meaning “wide” and ὄψ (ops) meaning “face, eye”. In Greek mythology Europa was a Phoenician princess who was abducted and taken to Crete by Zeus in the guise of a bull. She became the first queen of Crete, and later fathered Minos by Zeus. The continent of Europe is named for her. This is also the name of a moon of Jupiter.
