As we live and breathe! Evia is a beautiful girl’s name of Hebrew origin, perfect for any parent in the prime of life with their little one. Evia is a beautiful elaboration of the name Eva, which is derived from the Hebrew name Eve, meaning “to breathe,” “to live,” or “life.” While Evia might bring to mind the biblical Eve, who, along with Adam, brought humankind into being, it’s also the name of a magnificent island on the Aegean Sea, known for the natural beauty of its sandy beaches. Additionally, this name has connections to Switzerland and is very popular in this stylish, chic country. This may be because, after the Reformation in the 16th century, the people of Switzerland began once again to give their children Hebrew-inspired names or monikers that came from the Old Testament. Whether basking in the wonders of the world or refining their faith, be ready for baby to follow wherever life beckons!
