Girl name · 21 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Ewa: 21 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2010.
Ewa is a Polish, Swedish, and Czech form of Eve, ultimately from the Hebrew Ḥawwāh, meaning "life" or "living one" – the same root as the biblical mother of all humanity. Its most famous bearers include Polish singer Ewa Farna and Ewa Kopacz, who served as Prime Minister of Poland from 2014 to 2015. While not directly linked to Scotland, the name shares its etymological life-giving spirit with the Gaelic name Aoife. One note: in Scotland, where Polish communities have grown, Ewa is often pronounced EH-vah, distinct from the English Eva (EE-vah), giving it a soft, melodic sound that feels both international and warmly familiar.
