Etymology
Ευρώ is the Greek spelling of the international currency name "euro", chosen in the 1990s when the European Union designed its single currency. The name itself was coined from "Europe" rather than inherited from an older Greek word. Greek adapted the international term directly, keeping it indeclinable like other borrowed nouns.
