Efrusine

This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Euphrosúnē (Εὐφροσύνη),” from “eúphrōn (εὔφρων),” composed of two elements: “eû ‎(εὖ)” (well) plus “phrḗn (φρήν)” (heart, soul, mind, will, purpose). In turn, the name means “cheerful, kindly, gracious, friendly.” Euphrosyne was one of the Charites, known in English also as the “Three Graces.” She is also the Goddess of Joy, a daughter of Zeus and Eurynome, and the incarnation of grace and beauty. She was also known as the goddess of Mirth. The other two Charites are Thalia (Good Cheer) and Aglaea (Beauty or Splendor). Euphronios was an ancient Greek vase painter and potter, active in Athens in the late 6th and early 5th-centuries BC.
