Talk:Eva


 * Where does the Name "Eva" come from? Tolkien was reluctant to use Names of Hebrew, Latin and Greek Origin, he used some franco-latin Names for Noble Hobbit Families and at the beginning was playing with the idea to substitute Hebrew Names, like Barnabas or Tobias, for Adunaic/Westron Forms, but he later moved away from that and removed most traces of Hebrew, Greek and Latin from the works he actually published. If Eva is a Name from Dunland i suppose it´s a Celtic Form? Eva is sometimes used as a substitute for Gaelic Aife and Aobh... but Dunlendish is mostly represented by Welsh in MERP and LOTRO.What´s Aife/Aobh in Welsh? Is it Afon ("River")?--Haerangil (talk) 11:37, February 16, 2018 (UTC)
