Evaleen Origin and Meaning

The name Evaleen is a girl's name of Irish origin.

Evaleen is a delicate feminine name with Irish and English origins, a variation of Evelyn or a combination of Eva and the suffix '-leen.' It emerged in the early 20th century when elaborate variations of traditional names were fashionable. The name carries meanings associated with its root forms: 'life,' 'light,' or 'bird-like' from Eva/Eve, combined with the diminutive ending that adds a sense of endearment. While never reaching widespread popularity, Evaleen experienced modest use in English-speaking countries during the early 1900s before declining. It maintains an antique charm and lyrical quality that appeals to parents seeking a vintage name with Irish connections and a soft, melodious sound.
