eve (n.)
c. 1200, eve "evening," especially the time between sunset and darkness, from Old English æfen, with loss of terminal -n (which, though forming part of the stem, perhaps was mistaken for an inflection), from Proto-Germanic *æbando- (cognates: Old Saxon aband, Old Frisian ewnd, Dutch avond, Old High German aband, German Abend, Old Norse aptann, Danish aften), which is of uncertain origin. Now superseded in its original sense by evening.

Specific meaning "day before a saint's day or festival" is from late 13c. Transferred sense of "the moment right before any event, etc." is by 1780. Even (n.), evening keep the original form.
Eve
fem. proper name, Biblical first woman, Late Latin, from Hebrew Hawwah, literally "a living being," from base hawa "he lived" (compare Arabic hayya, Aramaic hayyin).
Like most of the explanations of names in Genesis, this is probably based on folk etymology or an imaginative playing with sound. ... In the Hebrew here, the phonetic similarity is between hawah, "Eve," and the verbal root hayah, "to live." It has been proposed that Eve's name conceals very different origins, for it sounds suspiciously like the Aramaic word for "serpent." [Robert Alter, "The Five Books of Moses," 2004, commentary on Gen. iii:20]
1. Richard had turned up on Christmas Eve with Tony.
理查德和托尼在圣诞夜一道露面了。
2. Eve walked briskly down the corridor to her son's room.
伊芙步履轻快地穿过走廊来到儿子的房间。
3. "Send her away," Eve said in a cold, hard voice.
“把她打发走。”伊芙冷酷无情地说道。
4. Eve, squinting at the clock, saw it was just on 7 a.m.
伊夫眯着眼瞥了一下钟,看到差不多是早上7点钟。
5. Eve isn't the type to sit around doing nothing.
伊芙不是那种喜欢坐在那里无所事事的人。
