What Does the Name Evelene Mean?
Evelene is an English spelling variant of Evelyn and Eveline, a name whose meaning is not securely established. The most common explanation traces Evelyn to the Norman French given name Aveline, a diminutive of Ava, which comes from a Germanic element of uncertain meaning, sometimes interpreted as "desired." A separate suggestion connects Aveline with the Old French word aveline, meaning "hazelnut." The familiar link between Evelyn and Eve, and through Eve to the Hebrew word for "life," is a later symbolic association rather than the name's literal etymology.
Evelene Name History & Origins
Evelyn first appears as an English surname, thought to be of Norman origin and borne by families such as that of the seventeenth-century diarist John Evelyn. From the surname it came into use as a given name, and in England it was long used for both men and women; in the United States it is now given mainly to girls. The forms Eveline and Evelina circulated alongside it, and Evelene belongs to this group of spellings, with its -ene ending echoing the French form Eveline. Eveline is also the title of a short story in James Joyce's Dubliners (1914), a literary use rather than the source of the name.
