English and Dutch: from the rare medieval female personal name
Eve, Eva (from Hebrew Chava, of uncertain
origin). This was, according to the Book of Genesis, the name of the
first woman, and in some cases the name may have been acquired by
someone (invariably a man) who had played the part in a drama dealing
with the Creation.

Historical Documents & Family Trees with Eve
The information for this chart came from the U.S. Immigration Collection at Ancestry.co.uk.
You can find out where the majority of the Eve families were living before
they immigrated to the U.S and learn where to focus your search for foreign records.
Immigration records can tell you an ancestor's name, ship name, port of departure,
port of arrival, and destination.
Starting a family tree at Ancestry is not only the easiest way to organise, preserve
and share your family history, it's also a direct link to missing information about
your roots.
