Evelyn

Evelyn is a name with Hebrew origins and is a diminutive of the name Eve. The name Eve came from the Hebrew word ‘hawah’, the meaning of Evelyn is 'living one' (taken from ‘hayah’ meaning ‘living’). Eve is known as being the first woman and the wife to Adam, in the Holy Bible. She was also the first mother, hence her name referring to 'life' or 'living'. Evelyn is also inspired by the French name Aveline, which is derived from the Old German name Avila, meaning ‘the desired’ or ‘wished for’. This name is popular in the United States, Canada, England and Australia, where it has consistently been in the Top 100 girl's name for the past decade. One famous figure with the name was the English soldier Major General Sir Evelyn John Webb-Carter, who was one of the chief officers operating under Queen Elizabeth I.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
