Evalyne is French in Origin.

Evalyne is a modern spelling of Evelyn/Eveline, ultimately from Anglo-Norman Aveline, a medieval feminine name brought to England by the Normans and later used as a surname. In Britain it served as a given name for both sexes; the unisex phase lasted into the 18th century before the feminine form prevailed. The name revived in Victorian times and has risen again in the 21st century, while the Evalyne form remains rare.

Its deepest root is the Germanic Ava, commonly glossed as “desired” or “wished-for,” with a secondary folk link to French aveline “hazelnut.” Because English speakers sometimes read Evelyn as Eve + -lyn, it also carries an associative sense of “life,” though that is not the historical source. Related variants include Evelyn, Eveline, Evelyne, Evalyn, Evelina, Aveline/Avelina, and Irish Eibhlín (which yields Eileen).
