Meaning and history
Eavan is an Anglicized Irish feminine name often connected with Gaelic name elements expressing beauty, pleasantness, or radiance. Several distinct Irish names have received similar English spellings, however, so the precise original form and literal meaning can depend on family tradition and should not be stated too narrowly. The name is most strongly associated with Irish poet Eavan Boland, whose work examined Irish history, national identity, and women’s domestic experience.
