Eva Forename Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A female name. Hebrew Chavva ‘life-giving’, the name of the first woman. The Jews seem not to have used it, but it is found in use in England from about the end of the 12th C, and gave rise to the surnames Eve,Eaves, &c. Eva is the Latin, Eve the vernacular form of the name. It has been a favourite in Ireland, where it was used to represent the Celtic Aoiffe. Its revival in England in the 19th C was no doubt partly due to the popularity of Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852).

Eva Curia Regis Rolls 1199-1210, Hundred Rolls 1273, Feudal Aids 1303, 1346. Eve Feudal Aids 1284, 1486.

The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe

EVE. (For the etymology, see Zoe.) In Book IV of Paradise Lost, Milton stresses far too much his opinion that Eve (‘For softness she and sweet attractive grace’) was in subjection to Adam, but one can hardly quarrel with : ‘So hand in hand they pass’d, the loveliest pair That ever since in love’s embraces met, Adam the goodliest man of men since born His sons, the fairest of her daughters Eve.’

Name This Child (1959) by Eric Partridge
