Etymology 1
The name euro was the winner of a contest open to the general public to propose names for the new European currency, and as such is technically a neologism, although it obviously alludes to the common root of geographical names for the continent Europe, derived from Latin Europa, from Ancient Greek Εὐρώπη (Eurṓpē), the name in Greek mythology of a princess, abducted by Zeus as a bull across the Bosporus. According to the official story, the term was coined by Belgian teacher and esperantist Germain Pirlot in 1995, who suggested it in a letter to Jacques Santer, then President of the European Commission.

Etymology
Borrowed from English euro, French euro, German Euro, Italian euro, Russian е́вро (jévro), Spanish euro.
Pronunciation
Noun
euro (plural euros or euro-i or euri)
Usage notes
All currencies in Ido are to be considered as foreign words. Thus, the plural are borrowed as well (euros). Though, because of the frequency of the currency, many treat the word as native (thus the plural form euri).
