About the Name Eva
Eva ranked #58 in 2025, down from its peak of #24 in 2012 — still a familiar name, but past its high point. The name has been a consistent presence in UK records since 1996. It has spent 21 of the last 30 years inside the UK top 100 — a mark of enduring mainstream appeal.
Eva is a very popular name in the UK — yet a class of 28 is small enough that your child will very likely be the only Eva on the register.
