Thayer's Greek Lexicon
εὐώνυμος, εὐώνυμον (εὖ and ὄνομα);
1. of good name (Hesiod, Pindar), and of good omen (Plato, polit., p. 302 d.; legg. 6, p. 754 e.); in the latter sense used in taking auguries; but those omens were euphemistically called εὐώνυμα which in fact were regarded as unlucky, i. e. which came from the left, sinister omens (for which a good name was desired); hence,
2. left (so from Aeschylus and Herodotus down): Act 21:3; Rev 10:2; ἐξ εὐωνύμων (cf. Winer’s Grammar, § 27, 3; § 19 under the word δεξιά; Buttmann, 89 (78)), on the left hand (to the left): Mat 20:21; Mat 20:23; Mat 25:33; Mat 25:41; Mat 27:38; Mar 10:37 (R G L), ; .
