History & Origin

Heva is a form of Eve, from Hebrew Chavah, usually read as 'life' — 'the mother of all living'. Heva appears in older Latin and European renderings of the name, and modern families may also reach it as a spelling of Eva. Neither route is firmly documented for its current use, so we note the uncertainty (said 'HEH-vah').

It appears only rarely in U.S. records. Rare, spare, and ancient in root.

Did you know? Heva is one of the many faces of Eve: Hebrew Chavah, Arabic Hawwa, Latin Heva in older texts. The root is the same — 'life' (said 'HEH-vah').
