Evan is also the shortened version of the Greek names "Evangelos" and "Evander". The name is also occasionally given to females, as with actress Evan Rachel Wood . It may be encountered as a surname of which Evans is the most common iteration. Other languages also assign meaning to Evan as a word or name.
