Evalin Origin and Meaning

The name Evalin is a girl's name.

Evalin is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Evelyn or Evaline. The name has Germanic origins, derived from the elements "ave" (desired) and "lind" (tender, soft), though it's now associated with the more common Evelyn. This spelling variation gives the name a slightly different visual presentation while maintaining the same melodic quality. Evalin was occasionally used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but remains uncommon today. The name has a gentle, vintage charm that appeals to parents seeking traditional names with slight modifications. With the resurgence of Evelyn in popularity, Evalin offers a related but more distinctive alternative.
