Havva Origin and Meaning

The name Havva is a girl's name.

Havva is the Turkish, Persian, and Arabic form of Eve, the first woman created in Abrahamic religions. Derived from the Hebrew name Chava meaning 'life' or 'living one,' Havva carries the same life-giving symbolism across multiple cultures. While common in Turkey, Iran, and Arabic-speaking countries, it remains relatively uncommon in Western nations. Parents who choose this name often appreciate its biblical significance while honoring Middle Eastern or Islamic heritage. The name has a timeless quality with its simple yet melodic two-syllable structure and distinctive double 'v' in the middle, giving it both cultural richness and phonetic appeal.
