Origin and meaning of Evie
Evie is the affectionate pet form of Eve/Eva, from the Hebrew Chavah, 'living one' or 'life-giver', the name of the first woman in the biblical Genesis account. In the UK it has long overtaken the full form in popularity, ranking consistently among the top girls' names in ONS data, reflecting the British taste for pet-name forms used as official given names. Its sweet, short sound is a major part of its appeal.
