Eva is a female given name, the Latinate counterpart of English Eve, derived from Hebrew name meaning "life" or "living one." It is the standard biblical form of Eve in many European languages.
I'm not christian, but I like to think of my first name as the first female name ever given.
Not Anna, not Sara, but Eva, say it out loud, slow.... Eeevaaaa. Clear, short and international.
To think that I haven't used it for 15 years...
Glad I'm back.
Happy sundays
