Eureka Classis
On June 7, 1911, seven ministers and sixteen congregations organized to form the Eureka Classis. The name of the Classis came from the Greek word ‘eureka’ which means ‘I found it’ and not on the town Eureka, South Dakota, where the second meeting of the Classis would be held. The name was designed to mean that they had found a solution to their doctrinal problems with the rest of the denomination.
Herja
Rudolf Simek says the name is etymologically related to the Old Norse "herja" and Old High German "herjón" (meaning "devastate"), and derives from Proto-Germanic word "*Herjaza". Simek notes that the Continental Germanic goddess name "Hariasa" (attested from a now lost 2nd century stone found in Cologne, Germany) also derives from "*Herjaza", but says that "it is almost impossible to say whether Herja was an original name of a goddess including among the North Germanic peoples," and that "an independent development is equally likely in the case of a 'goddess of war'."
