From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Eva yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Eva ranked 31 in 1889. Its busiest year for births came in 1918, at 4,563, after which it spent most of the twentieth century declining before a partial recovery. It is currently down 38% across the decade, at 2,296 births and rank 120, with 283,587 births accumulated since 1880. The bearers are a genuinely uncomfortable mix: Eva Perón, born 1919, Eva Braun, born 1912, Eva Green and Eva Longoria, with Hedy Lamarr, born 1914, appearing under her birth name Hedwig Eva Kiesler. Few short names carry associations pulling in such opposite directions. Eva's brevity and cross-language portability — it works unchanged in a dozen European languages — are what have kept it in continuous use regardless.
