Eigamoiya
Auweyida and Eigamoiya in the midst of their subjects
Eigamoiya (* before 1860 , † after 1915 ) was a Nauruan queen and wife of King Auweyida . As a young woman she was married to the then chief of Boe Auweyida and thus chief of Boe. With the coronation of Auweyida as king, Eigamoiya consequently became queen of Nauru. In contrast to her husband, she had less political and more representative functions as a Nauruan queen. Very little is known about them in general.
The Nauru Pacific Line named one of their ships after her.
