Evita
Spanish diminutive name
Evita is a Spanish diminutive of Eva, meaning "little Eve." The name is inseparable from Eva Perón, Argentina's iconic first lady, whose political influence and early death made her a national saint to some, a demagogue to others.
The Andrew Lloyd Webber musical *Evita* further fixed the name in global consciousness: Don't cry for me, Argentina.
