About Evangelista

An elaborate alternative to Evangeline, Evangelista is closely associated with the Four Evangelists (or gospels) in The New Testament, Mathew, Luke, Mark, and John, as such making a spiritual option. Derived from the Greek euangelos, it could be interpreted as meaning "preacher of gospel", though for a more secular option, you could read it as "sharer of good news".

While it may sound feminine to English speakers, it is in fact a unisex name, notably borne by 15th-century physicist and mathematician, Evangelista Torricelli, and more recently by Brazilian martial artist, Evangelista Santos.

Pronounced ev-an-hel-EES-tuh.
