The surname Euresti is believed to have originated in Romania, dating back to the 15th century. It is thought to be derived from the Old Romanian word "euresht," which means "fortunate" or "blessed." The name was primarily concentrated in the regions of Transylvania and Moldavia in the early days.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Euresti surname can be found in a Church registry from the town of Brasov, Transylvania, dating back to 1487. The entry mentions a certain Ioan Euresti, who was a local landowner and respected member of the community.

The name Euresti is also associated with several notable figures in Romanian literature and arts. One such individual was Mihai Euresti (1836-1892), a celebrated poet and playwright who wrote extensively in the Romanian language during the 19th century.
