How we count, and every source
About the name
Evie started as a diminutive of Eva, Eve, Evelyn and Evangeline, formed with the affectionate -ie ending. Today it is also given as a full first name, not only as a nickname, so it can stand alone or sit alongside a longer formal name.
Read the restShow less
EE-vee has two light syllables, both ending on a vowel, which gives it a soft and playful ring. Evy and Evvie are less common spellings, and Eva or Evelyn can serve as the longer version for families who want one.
Evie is most at home in Scotland, Ireland and New South Wales, where it ranks among the top thirty girls' names. It has a smaller following in the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland. In France it peaked recently, around 2023, and across the countries where it is used it is rising in some while settling in others.
