Eva

Eva is the Latinate form of Eve, derived from the Hebrew name Chavah, meaning living or life-giving, rooted in the word chayah, to live. In the biblical tradition, Eva is the name of the first woman in the Book of Genesis, making it one of the most widely distributed feminine names across European and Christian cultures. The name spread throughout the Western world largely through Latin translations of the Bible and remains common across Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, Scandinavian, and Slavic languages.
