Evar

Appearing in Mark Lawrence's high fantasy novel, The Book That Wouldn't Burn, Evar is a contemporary, literary creation. Borne by a character raised outside of time, in a mysterious library, Evar may be a play on the word "ever".

Alternatively, it may be inspired by the Greek name Evaristus, meaning "well pleasing" or by Scandinavian Ivar, meaning "yew wood" or "archer". It is, however, also the abbreviation for a type of surgery called Endovascular Aneurysm Repair, used to fix abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Pronounced EV-ar.

As of October 2026, Evar ranked #3422 for boys in US births in 1914 SSA.
