Meaning:Graced by Yahweh; God is gracious
Evans is a boy’s name of Welsh origin. An Anglicized form of Ifan, which stems from the Hebrew John, it translates to “graced by Yahweh” or “God is gracious.” This name is best recognized as a surname—you might associate it with The Avengers' own Captain America, Chris Evans. But, Evans stands up on its own as a unique twist on a traditional given name for the trendiest of little ones.
