Girl
Havva
Havva is a longstanding girls’ name associated with life, recognised across generations and shared religious traditions.
Meaning
Havva is commonly understood to mean life or life-giving. Its association with the first woman comes from Islamic, Christian and Jewish traditions, where Havva, known in English as Eve, is Adam’s wife.
Origin
Havva has Hebrew roots, with an etymology linked to life. It is the established Turkish form of the name known in English as Eve.
In recent years
Long among the most chosen names, Havva appeared in earlier top-hundred lists on 23 occasions and reached a highest position of 13. It is absent from the latest official top hundred but remains a familiar classic from earlier generations.
How does it look on a plaque?
Havva would look lovely on a wooden Meşgalem name plaque, with the baby’s birth date set beneath it.
