Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Evelyn sa spája s anglickým priezviskom odvodeným od normanskofrancúzskeho ženského mena Aveline. To sa vykladá ako zdrobnená podoba germánskeho mena Avelina zo základu Avi-. Význam najstaršieho základu nie je spoľahlivo objasnený; status unknown označuje túto neistotu. Jednoznačný preklad „život“ ani „vytúžená“ preto nemožno uvádzať ako overený význam.
