The name is used a lot on the Greek Islands, I have found. Mainlanders don’t seem to know the name as much.
Evie, Kia, Phonia, Kitsa is another nickname if you want to say it in Greek. Doc’s, Eve, Vonnie (from Yvonne as its translation into an English name) is the nickname in English.
It’s a good name with deep history and meaning… until someone who is not Greek tries to pronounce it, then it just comes out all wrong! lol Like when you are at school or waiting for the doctor… its usually evd?? evdddo??… then they go for the surname and they give up there too with all the alphabet letters lol
