Evana

Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Evana: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2021.

Evana is a name with two possible roots: it can be a feminine form of Evan, the Welsh version of John, meaning “God is gracious,” or an anglicised variant of the Irish Eavan, from aoibh, meaning “beautiful radiance.” While no famous Evanas spring to mind, the male form Evan is well known in Scotland through figures like footballer Evan Ferguson. As a close spelling of Evanna, it shares a connection with actor Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films. The name remains relatively rare in Scotland, offering a gentle, melodic alternative to more common Evan-derived names such as Evangeline or Geneva.
