EVE
The Woman of Unique Distinction—Genesis 2 and 3; 2 Corinthians 11:3; 1 Timothy 2:13
Name Meaning—There are three names applied to Adam’s wife. She is called “Woman, because she was taken out of Man” (Genesis 2:23). “Woman” is more of a generic designation than a name, and is associated with Eve’s relation to Adam, a relation she was created to fulfill. Literally “woman” means “man-ess.” Then both Eve and her husband are called “Adam.” “Male and female created he them ... and called their name Adam” (Genesis 5:2).
