Origin
Meaning and history of Evante
The name Evante has its origins in the ancient Latin language, tracing back to the 1st century AD. It is derived from the Latin root "evantus," which means "favorable outcome" or "success." This root is related to the Latin word "evenire," meaning "to come out" or "to happen."
During the Roman Empire, the name Evante was occasionally bestowed upon newborn boys as a symbolic wish for a prosperous and successful life. While not widely popular, it appeared sporadically in historical records and inscriptions from that era.
One of the earliest documented individuals with the name Evante was a Roman soldier who served under the Emperor Trajan in the early 2nd century AD. He was mentioned in a military record for his bravery in battle, though his full name and details have been lost to time.
In the 4th century AD, a Christian martyr named Evante was recorded in the hagiographies of the early church. He was said to have been executed for his faith during the persecution of Christians under the Roman Emperor Diocletian.
During the Middle Ages, the name Evante fell into disuse, likely due to the decline of Latin as a spoken language. However, it resurfaced in the Renaissance period, when there was a renewed interest in classical Latin and Greek names.
One notable bearer of the name Evante was an Italian artist and architect from the 16th century, Evante Salviati (1490-1563). He was known for his contributions to the decoration of the Vatican Palace and his work in the Mannerist style.
In the 17th century, a French philosopher and mathematician named Evante Mariotte (1620-1684) made significant contributions to the study of gases and the principles of atmospheric pressure.
Another historical figure with the name Evante was Evante Coen (1657-1734), a Dutch painter and etcher known for his landscapes and genre scenes depicting everyday life in Holland.
While not as widespread as some other names, Evante has left its mark throughout history, carrying the symbolic meaning of success and favorable outcomes from its Latin roots.

FAQ
Evante: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Evante?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 12 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Evante going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 28,562,862 US residents.
Is Evante a common name?
We classify Evante as "Very Rare". It ranks above 32.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 12 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Evante most popular?
The single biggest year for Evante was 2001, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Evante is about 24 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Evante in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Evante a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Evante in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Evante still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Evante in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Evante can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
