History & Origin

Evalyna respells Evelina, a Latinate elaboration of Eva — Hebrew Chavah, 'life' — or of the Norman Aveline. Fanny Burney's novel gave it a great vogue in the eighteenth century, and it has drifted in and out of favor since. The Y spelling is a contemporary touch (said 'ev-uh-LEE-nuh').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, romantic, and flowing.

Did you know? Fanny Burney's 1778 novel Evelina made the name a sensation in Georgian England. Evalyna is its modern American spelling, still carrying Eva's 'life' at its heart (said 'ev-uh-LEE-nuh').
