Eva is the Latinised form of the Hebrew Chavah (חַוָּה) — Eve, the first woman of Genesis, whose name means "life" or "living one." In Greek-speaking Jewish communities the name became Zoe (also "life") — the same meaning translated.
Eva is among the most internationally popular girl's names — high in the rankings in Italy, Spain, France, Russia, Germany, the Netherlands, and Latin America. In the U.S. it sits in the top 90 and is rising.
Eva reduces to five — the number of life and curious motion.
