Evola is of Italian origin, derived from the Latin word 'evolla', which means 'elm'. It was historically used as a surname and later adopted as a given name. Evola gained popularity in the 20th century, largely due to its association with notable figures like Julius Evola, an influential Italian philosopher and writer.
The name Evola experienced its peak popularity between 1916 and 1920, with a total of 34 births during these years. However, it appears to have declined significantly thereafter, with fewer than 7 births per year from 1923 onwards. The most recent birth recorded was in 1953, indicating that the name's usage has largely tapered off over time.
