Evelina (given Name)
Evelina is a feminine given name, likely stemming from the Old Germanic name of ''Avelina''. The presently more common name ''Evelyn'' is presumed to stem from ''Evelina.'' During the Norman Conquest the name ''Aveline'' was introduced to Britain, and became popular during the 12th and 13th centuries. The name accumulated many variations, resulting in the creation of surnames such as ''Aveling, Eveling, Eveline, Aveline,'' etc. with the name ''Evelyn'' believed to have first been a masculine name derived from one of those surnames. In the 18th century an English trend of preferring the latin form of women's names lead the authour Fanny Burney to name the titular character of her 1778 novel "Evelina". The popularity of the book lead to ''Evelina'' becoming the most common version of the name up till the present day. Notable people with the name include: People * Evelina (singer), Finnish singer and songwriter Eveliina Tammenlaakso (born 1995) * Evelina Borea (born 1931), Italian art ...

Given Name
A given name (also known as a forename or first name) is the part of a personal name quoted in that identifies a person, potentially with a middle name as well, and differentiates that person from the other members of a group (typically a family or clan) who have a common surname. The term ''given name'' refers to a name usually bestowed at or close to the time of birth, usually by the parents of the newborn. A ''Christian name'' is the first name which is given at baptism, in Christian custom. In informal situations, given names are often used in a familiar and friendly manner. In more formal situations, a person's surname is more commonly used. In Western culture, the idioms "" and "being on first-name terms" refer to the familiarity inherent in addressing someone by their given name. By contrast, a surname (also known as a family name, last name, or Gentile name, ''gentile'' name) is normally inherited and shared with other members of one's immediate family. Regnal names ...

Evelina Stading
Evelina Stading (January 1, 1797– April 4, 1829), was a Swedish landscape painter. Biography Evelina Stading was born in Stockholm, Sweden. She was either the daughter or the niece of the opera singer Franziska Stading (1763–1836). Stading studied art in Stockholm, as a student of the landscape painter Carl Johan Fahlcrantz and continued her studies in Germany and Italy.

Eveline (given Name)
Evelyn is a matronymic English surname derived from the medieval girl's name Aveline (which is of Norman origin and represents a diminutive form of Ava). Since the 17th century, it has also been used as a given name. The earliest recorded bearer was Evelyn Pierrepoint (d. 1726), who was a grandson of the Roundhead politician Sir John Evelyn. It is still occasionally used as a boy's name, but is now more often given to girls. In some cases, the given name may represent an anglicized form of the Irish names Aibhilín and Éibhleann. The former is also a descendant of Aveline, while the latter is said to derive from the Old Irish ''óiph'' ("beauty, radiance").

Evelina
''Evelina, or the History of a Young Lady's Entrance into the World'' is a novel written by English author Frances Burney and first published in 1778. Although published anonymously, its authorship was revealed by the poet George Huddesford in what Burney called a "vile poem". In this 3-volume epistolary novel, title character Evelina is the unacknowledged but legitimate daughter of a dissipated English aristocrat, and thus raised in rural seclusion until her 17th year. Through a series of humorous events that take place in London and the resort town of Hotwells, near Bristol, Evelina learns to navigate the complex layers of 18th-century English society and come under the eye of a distinguished nobleman with whom a romantic relationship is formed in the latter part of the novel. This sentimental novel, which has notions of sensibility and early romanticism, satirizes the society in which it is set and is a significant precursor to the work of Jane Austen and Maria Edgeworth ...
