The story of Evalina
Aveline was a Norman name in medieval England that produced the surname Evelyn. Fanny Burney's Evelina of 1778 revived it as a given name and set its literary tone; nineteenth-century families used Evelina and Evalina interchangeably. The name faded and returned in the 2010s alongside Evelyn, Eva and Evangeline, all rising together.
