About the name Eve
Eve comes from the Hebrew Chavah, which is related to the Hebrew words for living and to breathe. In the Book of Genesis, Eve is the first woman, created as a companion to Adam, and Adam names her because she is the mother of all the living. In Arabic and Islamic tradition she is called Hawa. The name was used in medieval England and again by the Puritans, and the Latin form Eva is used across much of Europe. In Bette Davis’s film All About Eve, the title character is an ambitious young actress named Eve Harrington.
