Evelynn is Evelyn with an extra flourish—a second N that gives the name a slightly more ornate finish. Evelyn itself came from the Norman surname Aveline, a diminutive of the Germanic Ava, and spent centuries as a boys' name in England before the feminine usage took over in the twentieth. The doubled spelling has risen alongside the traditional one during Evelyn's remarkable 2010s revival, and Evelynn now sits near 304, a more unusual path to the same beloved sound. Three syllables, EV-uh-lyn, with the built-in nicknames Evie and Lynn. Vintage with a modern eyelash curl; Evelynn adds a personal signature to a familiar favorite.
