Aeva

Aeva is a feminine name that appears to be a modern variant spelling of Eva or Ava, both of which have ancient roots. Eva derives from the Hebrew name Chava meaning "life" or "living one," while Ava has potential Persian origins meaning "voice" or "sound." The addition of the initial 'e' to Ava creates a distinctive spelling while maintaining familiar pronunciation. This contemporary variation emerged as parents began seeking unique spellings of classic names. Aeva combines the timeless simplicity of its traditional counterparts with a touch of modern flair. The name's balanced structure of two syllables and flowing vowel sounds gives it an elegant, feminine quality that appeals to parents looking for something slightly unusual yet still accessible.

Pronounced AY-vuh.
