Evangeline Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. this name appears to have been invented by Longfellow for the heroine of his narrative poem Evangeline, as a French f. form of the noun evangel. It is now fairly common in the USA and is also sometimes used in England.
Literally, ‘happy messenger,’ ‘bearer of good tidings,’ the eu of the Greek has been changed to ev in the course of alphabetic evolution. Thus we have Evangelist, one of the four narrators of Christ’s personal history, and Evangeline, which Longfellow apparently invented for the heroine of his poem (published in 1847): ‘whence many of the name have sprung up in America’ (Yonge).
Greek (feminine) - Bringer of good news.
A Greek name, meaning: Messenger of good tidings.
