Meaning: Life

The name Eve has its origins in both Latin and Hebrew languages. It is derived from the Latin name Eva, which in turn comes from the Hebrew name Chavah (חַוָּה) or Havah. The name has multiple meanings, including "life," "living being," and "to breathe". The Hebrew verb chavah, from which Chavah is derived, means "to breathe" or "to live". In the Bible, Eve is the first woman created and the mother of all humankind, making the name significant in religious contexts. Eve gained popularity in the English-speaking world during the 19th century, following its revival along with the Latin form Eva. The name's religious association with both the first woman in the Torah and the mother of all humankind, as well as its simple spelling, have contributed to its enduring appeal.
