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.
Names of the Greeks
The modern English noun "Greek" (Old English "Grecas" or "Crecas") is derived from the Latin "Graeci", which in turn originates from Ancient Greek ("Graikos"). It seems that the word is related with the Greek word "geron", "old man" (from the PIE base "*ǵerh-", "to grow old") via Proto-Greek "*gera-", "old age"—also related to Mycenean Greek "kera" /geras/, "gift of honour". The Germanic languages borrowed the name with an initial "k" sound, which was probably their initial sound closest to the Latin "g" (Goth. "Kreks").
