The story

  1. Irish · borrowed fromAoife
  2. English todayAoife

Borrowed from Irish Aoife. The name is unrelated to the Biblical name Eva, which was rendered as Éabha in Irish. However, due to the lack of a more precise alternative familiar to English speakers, Aoife has often been anglicised as Eva or Eve.
