Meaning: Evolett is a modern American coined name, a spelling of Evolet, the heroine of the 2008 film 10,000 BC. The movie glosses the name as 'the promise of life,' but that is an invented, in-story meaning rather than an ancient word; Evolet is often noted as 'love' spelled forward into a new shape.

History & Origin
Evolett is a coined American girl's name that spread from the 2008 film 10,000 BC, whose heroine is named Evolet. Within the film the name is said to mean 'the promise of life,' though that is a storyteller's gloss rather than a historic etymology. Evolett is a fuller spelling of that screen name, chosen by parents charmed by the character.
Evolett has always been rare in the United States, appearing only after the film and given to only about twenty girls a year at its small peak around 2011. A girl named Evolett then is a teenager now, so the name still reads as new.
