2333. chavvah
Berean Strong's Lexicon
chavvah: Eve

Original Word: חַוָּה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: chavvah
Pronunciation: khav-VAH
Phonetic Spelling: (khav-vaw')
Definition: Eve
Meaning: an encampment, village

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָוָה (chavah), meaning "to live" or "to breathe."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2096 (Zoe): Meaning "life," often used in the New Testament to denote spiritual life or eternal life, reflecting the thematic connection to Eve as the mother of all living.

Usage: The name "Chavvah" (Eve) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the first woman, the wife of Adam. The name is often understood to mean "life" or "living," as she is described as "the mother of all the living" (Genesis 3:20, BSB). This reflects her role in the biblical narrative as the progenitor of the human race.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names were often significant and conveyed meanings related to the individual's role or characteristics. Eve's creation from Adam's rib (Genesis 2:21-22) and her subsequent naming highlight the intimate relationship between man and woman and the foundational role of family in human society. The narrative of Eve also addresses themes of temptation, sin, and redemption, as she is central to the account of the Fall in Genesis 3.
