Eva

Eva is the Latin form of Eve, from the Hebrew Chavah, "living" or "life-giver." It travels easily between languages, worn nearly identically in Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, Czech, and Russian, which is part of its enduring appeal. American parents rediscovered Eva in the early 2000s, lifted in part by Eva Mendes and Eva Longoria, and the name has sat comfortably in the U.S. top 100 through the 2010s and 2020s. Two syllables land with a neat inhale and exhale, EE-vah. It reads as elegant without effort, international without being self-consciously so, and a little bit cinematic.
