What does the name Evey mean?
Evey is a spelling of Evie, pronounced the same way, so it shares Evie's meaning and origin.
Evie is a pet form of Eve, Eva, Evelyn or Evangeline, made with the familiar -ie ending, and is now often given on its own. Eve is the Hebrew Chavah, linked in DMNES with a word meaning "to live" (Genesis explains her as the mother of all the living). Evelyn has a separate, uncertain origin, so Evie's meaning depends on which name it shortens.
חַוָּה (Biblical Hebrew, “Eve, linked to 'to live'”)
How sure is this? Well established. Evie is clearly a pet form; its meaning depends on whether it stands for Eve or for Evelyn.
