      Spelling variation of Evelyn
    • Meaning:

      "desired; water, island"

      This variation draws more from Eva than from Eve, which might lead to pause as to whether it should be said EHV-eh-lin or EEV-eh-lin. While the former is more popular in the US, both pronunciations are in use, so an Evalyn might need to explain.
