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.
