起源与历史

Welsh patronymic surname meaning 'son of Evan', where Evan is the Welsh form of the given name John, ultimately derived from the Hebrew 'Yohanan' meaning 'God is gracious'. The Welsh convention of adding '-s' or '-ap' to a father's given name to form a heritable family name is the same mechanism that produced Jones and Davies. Evans is among the four most common surnames in Wales.
