Meaning & origin
Evva is a rare and distinctive spelling variant that first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1893, reaching its peak usage that very year. It has been steadily falling in popularity since 2016, and as of 2025 it is not among the top 1000 names. With no common variant rankings and no top states in recent data, Evva remains a very uncommon choice, appealing to parents seeking a vintage, minimalist name with a touch of individuality.
Evva is a rare spelling variant of Eva, the Latin form of Eve. Eve derives from the Hebrew name Chava, meaning 'life' or 'living'. It may also be a variant of Ava, which has debated origins. Evva saw sporadic use in the late 19th century, particularly in the 1890s, and has since declined in popularity.
