Meaning
“Life”
From the Hebrew Havvah (חַוָּה), related to hayah, “to live”: “life”, “life-giver”. Adam gave her the name because she would be the mother of all living.
In the original:חַוָּה Chavvâh · Strong H2332
Eve was the first woman, formed by God from Adam. Deceived by the serpent, she ate the forbidden fruit and gave it to her husband. Even after the fall she received a name of life — and the promise that the woman’s offspring would crush the serpent’s head.
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
