Desired, water, or life
Evelina is a Latinate form of Evelyn, which likely derives from the Germanic name Avelina. It is also frequently associated with the Hebrew name Eve, meaning life, or the Celtic word for water. The name gained literary popularity in the 18th century through Frances Burney's novel of the same name.
