Meaning & History
Of uncertain origin and meaning.
It might be a feminized form of Ival, however, given how rare the masculine name Ival is, this is unlikely. It might also be a transferred use of the extremely rare surname Ivaly, which is also a rather unlikely source. It might simply be an elaborated form of Iva. It might even be a rare variant of Ivelis, itself a rare variant of Yvelisse (via the variants Ivelisse and Ivalisse). The variant Ivalia suggests that it might have been influenced, if not been based on, Evalia and thus Evelia.
