A while ago while browsing Russian name sites I encountered the name Евлампия (Evlampiya). I wanted to add it to the user-submitted names database but couldn't find enough information about the name, although it resembled a name of Ancient Greek origin because of the "ev" part. I recently found out that Eulampius and Eulampia are saint's names, often mentioned together. It seems Eulampios is the original form. I added the names as well as Evlampiya, Evlampiy, Eulampe and Eulampie. There are probably more forms of the name.

What I'm not sure about is whether to categorise Eulampius as Ancient Roman or Ancient Greek (Latinised). I'm a British teenager with Google so my researching powers are kind of limited. I'm not sure about the conditions surrounding the saints, whether they are semi-legendary or not, and whether it's accurate to say that Eulampius (and Eulampia, by extension) was actually used in Ancient Rome.

As an aside, any further information on Syncletica? I added it to the database a while ago after finding the Russian form Синклитикия (Sinklitikiya) along with Sinklitikiya itself and Synclétique. I can only find that it means "senator" but I think there might be more to it. Is there a masculine form it's related to?

Thank you for your time.
