Meaning & origin
Evelyne is a classic feminine name that peaked in popularity in 1919, reflecting its early 20th-century charm. After a long decline, it has been rising again since 1986, with a notable revival in recent decades. In 2025, the name ranked 3,577 in the United States, with about 1 in 38,268 newborn girls receiving it. The name was first recorded in 1888 and has seen steady use, particularly in states like Florida. Its elegant, vintage feel appeals to parents seeking a less common alternative to the more standard Evelyn.
Evelyne is a variant of Evelyn, which originated as a French feminine form of the Norman name Aveline, itself derived from the Germanic element 'avi' meaning 'desired' or 'wished for'. It may also be associated with the Hebrew name Chava (Eve), meaning 'life'. The spelling Evelyne became popular in English-speaking countries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
