What does the name Evie mean?
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'”)
