Ewa Origin and Meaning

The name Ewa is a girl's name of Polish origin.

Ewa is a feminine name primarily used in Polish culture as a variant of Eve or Eva. Its origins trace back to the Hebrew name Chavah, meaning 'life' or 'living one.' In Biblical tradition, Eve was the first woman created by God. This short, two-syllable name has a simple elegance with its clear vowel sounds. While uncommon in English-speaking countries, Ewa is well-established in Poland and some other Eastern European nations. The name combines ancient religious heritage with a clean, modern sound. Its brevity makes it practical across language barriers, though English speakers might mispronounce it as 'EE-wah' rather than the correct 'EH-vah.' Ewa offers a subtle international flair while maintaining connections to one of the most recognizable female names in Western tradition.
