Help[Opinions] Re: Evanna
in reply to a message by JessaRose
I've never heard of it.
I'm pronouncing it like Evan-ah, and if it IS pronounced that way, I don't see how it could mean "young warrior." Evan is a form of John, which means "Yaweh is gracious", so by extension, Evanna would have the same meaning. It sounds like the people who said this read those trendy baby name books that invent meanings for made-up names.
If it is derived from Evania, and pronounced like Savannah, that would make it more feminine. Since I've never heard of it, I can't say.
I think it's pretty enough, but I would never use it. I can't think of any combos at the moment-sorry.
I've never heard of Evanna Lynch, either, so the association wouldn't bother me.
