The name 夏娃 (Xiàwá) is a **phonetic-semantic translation** of "Eve" from the Bible, formed by combining two Chinese characters primarily for their sound while also conveying relevant meaning. The first character, 夏 (Xià), approximates the "Eve" sound, and while it literally means "summer" or "China," here it functions phonetically. The second character, 娃 (wá), meaning "baby" or "child," was chosen both for its phonetic contribution to the complete sound "wá" and its semantic appropriateness, as Eve is considered the mother of all humanity. Thus, the term is a culturally adapted loanword that encapsulates both the pronunciation and a key attribute of the original name.
