Evangeline

The meaning of Evangeline is ‘bearer of good news'. It is traditionally a name given to baby girls and it is of Greek origins. It comes from the word 'evangelium' and it is a fusion of the Greek words 'eû', meaning 'good' and 'angelos', meaning 'God's messenger'. It is synonymous with the name of the Gospel in the Bible, as 'gospel' means 'good news'. The name was popularized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1897, as he published a poem entitled 'Evangeline', which wrote about a girl who yearned and looked for her long-lost love named Gabriel. The name has been used in countless songs and poetry. The song 'Ma Belle Evangeline' from Disney’s ‘Princess and the Frog’ contains one of the best references to the name. There is also a famous actress called Evangeline Lilly, famous for her portrayal of Hope, a character who appears in 'Ant-Man' and several other Marvel movies.
