Evelien is Dutch in Origin.
Evelien is a Dutch feminine given name, pronounced ay-vuh-LEEN, and a Dutch form of Eveline/Evelyn. These trace to Norman French Aveline, a medieval diminutive of the Germanic name Ava; later the spelling and sense were influenced by Eve (Hebrew Chava, “life”). Because of these overlapping roots, Evelien is commonly interpreted as “little Ava,” “desired,” or, by association with Eve, “life.”
Aveline entered England with the Normans, became the surname and given name Evelyn, and was revived in the 17th–18th centuries. In the Netherlands and Flanders, Evelien rose in use from the 1960s onward, peaking around the 1980s–1990s, and remains familiar without being ubiquitous. Close variants include Eveline (Dutch/French), Evelina (Scandinavian/Italian), Evelyn (English), Évelyne (French), and Ewelina (Polish). Nicknames and short forms include Eve, Evie, Eef, Eefje, and Lien.
