Eve

First biblical woman

Eve is the first woman in the Bible, created by God from Adam's rib in the Garden of Eden.

She famously ate the forbidden fruit after the serpent's temptation, leading to humanity's expulsion from paradise.

Eve remains a common given name and a symbol in discussions of gender, temptation, and origins. (Lowercase eve means the day before an event.)
