Thanksgiving is the literal definition of the term "eucharist". However if you are referring to the sacrament, then "eucharist" may be called "The Blessed Sacrament", "The Lord's Supper", "Communion", "Holy Communion", "The Mass".

Why are the eucharistic beliefs different within the Christian church?

The Eucharist, also called Holy Communion or Lord's Supper and other names, is a Christian sacrament by which, in a common interpretation, those who celebrate it commemorate the Last Supper by consecrating bread and wine. There are different interpretations of the significance of the Eucharist, but "there is more of a consensus among Christians about the meaning of the Eucharist than would appear from the confessional debates over the sacramental presence, the effects of the Eucharist, and the proper auspices under which it may be celebrated."

Which Christian denominations do not celebrate the Eucharist and why?

Only Catholics celebrate the Eucharist. Catholics believe that Jesus is truly present under the appearances of bread and wine. Other christian denominations may have a 'communion service' in which they reenact the Last supper, but they believe that the Eucharist is a symbol of Jesus, not truly Jesus Himself. As a Lutheran clergyman who celebrates the Eucharist every week, I was surprised to read the above answer. While there may be many different names for the Eucharist ('Holy Communion', 'The Lord's Supper', and so on) they are only names and they do not necessarily indicate the understanding of the particular denomination. Lutheran theology teaches 'the Real Presence' of Christ's body and blood - 'in, with, and under the bread and the wine. Rather than "Consubstantiation" or "Transubstantiation", Lutherans believe in a "sacramental union" - that is we eat both the bread and the flesh, we drink both wine and the blood. Like Roman Catholics, Lutherans certainly do not teach that the Eucharist is nothing more than a symbolic meal, but rather that it is the real reception of the body and blood of our Lord.
