History & Origin

Evaluna joins Eva, a name tied to the Hebrew sense of breathing and life, with the Spanish word 'luna' for moon. The result is a flowing two-part name with a celestial second half. Its modern visibility owes much to Venezuelan singer and actress Evaluna Montaner.

Written apart as Eva Luna, it reads almost like a small phrase, and the moon imagery gives it a gentle, lyrical quality. Evaluna Montaner, daughter of Ricardo Montaner, has carried the name through Latin pop and television.
