Evelyn

Evelyn is a vintage gem that has made a notable comeback in recent years. Originally an English surname, it later transitioned to a given name. Meaning 'desired' or 'wished for', it carries a soft, elegant sound. Evelyn Waugh, the British author, is a well-known namesake, though this name is mostly associated with female bearers today. You can go with Evie or Eve for a more casual nickname. Its enduring appeal lies in its balance of classic charm and contemporary style.
