Eugina is often misspelled as "Eugena". However, the correct spelling is "Eugina" /juːˈdʒaɪnə/. The word is formed from the Greek name "Eugenia", which means "well-born" or "noble". The initial sound is a "y" sound, represented by the IPA symbol /j/. The following "eu" sound, which is pronounced like "yoo", is represented by the IPA symbol /juː/. The stress is placed on the second syllable, which is marked with the symbol /ˈdʒaɪnə/.
