Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno pochádza z hebrejského mena Chavvá (חַוָּה), ktorého výklad sa tradične spája s hebrejským slovesom chájá („žiť“) a s biblickým označením Evy ako „matky všetkých žijúcich“. Do slovenčiny sa dostalo prostredníctvom gréckeho tvaru Eua a latinského Eva. Význam mena sa preto vykladá ako „živá“ alebo „životodarná“.
