Chavvah

Chavvah is a Hebrew given name for females. It is the Hebrew form of Eve, the first woman in Abrahamic religions. The name Chavvah derives from the Hebrew word "chayyah" which means "life" or "living." It is also associated with the verb "chavah," meaning "to live" or "to give life."

In the Book of Genesis, Chavvah (translated as Eve in most English Bibles) is created by God from the rib of Adam. She is described as the mother of all living. The name's connection to life and sustenance underscores her foundational role in humanity's existence.

The name Chavvah is predominantly used in Jewish communities and cultures. While less common globally than its English equivalent Eve, it carries significant religious and cultural weight. It is often chosen for its biblical roots and the meaning of life associated with it. Variations in pronunciation and transliteration can occur, but the core meaning remains consistent. The name evokes themes of creation, fertility, and the continuation of life.
