The name 'Eve' comes from the Hebrew word חַוָּה or 'Chava,' a form of the word for life, which is why she is called 'the mother of all living.' She represents the church, and is called 'mother' because this was the first Church of all, and 'living' because of its faith in the Lord, who is life itself.

(Odkazy: Arcana Coelestia 287-291, Genesis 3:20)

387. 'Being hidden from Your face' ¹ means being separated from all the good present in faith and flowing from love. This is clear from the meaning of 'the face ¹ of Jehovah'. As stated already, 'the face of Jehovah' means compassion, the source of all goods present in faith and flowing from love. For this reason every good accompanying faith is meant by 'the face' ¹ here.
