''Evelyn'' is a name in the English language, where it can be used as a first name or a surname. As a first name, it can refer to persons of either sex, although it is more commonly borne by females. The name originally was used a surname, which derived from Aveline, a feminine Norman French diminutive of the name Ava. ''Evelyn'' is also sometimes used as an Anglicisation of the Irish or ''Aibhilín'' and ''Éibhleann''.〔 ''Aibhilín'' is a variant form of ''Eibhlín'', which is also derived from the Norman French ''Aveline''.〔.〕 ''Éibhleann'', on the other hand, is said to be derived from the Old Irish ''óiph'', which means "radiance", "beauty"; a variant of this name is ''Éibhliu'', another Anglicised form of the name is ''Evilin''. Another school of thought is that the name "Evelyn" means "hazelnut".〔.〕 Variant forms of the feminine first name ''Evelyn'' include: ''Evelyne'', ''Eveline'', ''Evaline'', ''Evylen'', ''Eveleen''.〔.〕 ==Persons with the surname== *John Evelyn (1620–1706), English writer, gardener and diarist. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Evelyn (name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
