Evelyn: Girls Baby Name Meaning

Evelyn Baby Name

The name Evelyn means ‘wished for child’ or ‘life’.

Evelyn is of Hebrew and Latin origin, where its meaning is “bird” and French origin, where its meaning is “little bird, hazelnut”. It became an English surname that derived from the French feminine given name Aveline.

However, when it transitioned into first name use, Evelyn was considered a masculine name. Variations include Evaline, Evalyn, Evelin, and Eveline. It is meant to be a double diminutive of Eve or in some cases from Old High German Avelina, from Avi.

In the 17th century when it was first used as a given name it was more common for boys, but it is now regarded as mainly feminine due to association with the related name Evelina.

Famous people who share the name Evelyn:

The most famous bearer is writer Evelyn Waugh who married a woman named Evelyn, and they were known as ‘He-Evelyn” and “She-Evelyn’. Angelina Jolie played the character Evelyn in Salt and Bruce Willis chose it for his fifth daughter, as did the actress Carey Mulligan.
