Question 2

What does the name Evelyn mean?

Accepted Answer

Evelyn is a name of English origin: traditionally "wished-for child," from the Norman French Aveline, though the root is debated; a surname for centuries and once a boys' name in Britain, it settled into a soft vintage classic that has peaked twice, a century apart.
