1. Eureka is not a word, it's a name.
2. The word you're thinking of is not even an English word, though that's beside the point.
3. As shinta|hikari, it's completely within the Japanese language to be able to pronounce it correctly.
If anything happened, it's that the Japanese voice actors/directors did not understand that "Eu" in English is a dipthong. They either mispronounced it, or it was intentional.
