Evie is a pet form of Eve and Evelyn and, through Eve, goes back to the Hebrew Chavah, which means "life" or "living one". It has been a standalone favorite in Britain for years and arrived in the United States with the wave of nickname names such as Elsie, Millie and Maisie. Evie entered the US top 1000 in 2007, rose from number 510 in 2015 to a peak of number 266 in 2023 and ranks number 270 among girls' names in 2025.
