ScholarlyEve renders the Hebrew Hawwah, which Genesis 3:20 explicitly links to the root for "living" (hay), explaining the name "because she was the mother of all living." The Septuagint reflects this sense by rendering the name Zoe, "life," at that verse.
Hebrew onomastics (Hawwah/hay) with the narrator's own etymology; LXX Zoe rendering.
