Etymology
Evans is a Welsh or English surname derived from the given name Evan.[2] As a Welsh name, Evan means "young warrior;" it can also be considered a form of the name John, meaning "God is gracious."[3]
Both sisters in the Evans family, Lily and Petunia, are named after flowers.
Behind the scenes
- Mark Evans is not related to the family.[4]
- Lucy Evans is not related to the family.
- Other than Lily Evans and her son, other Evans family members must have had almond shaped green eyes, as when Lily Evans' son stumbled across the Mirror of Erised he saw his maternal and paternal family. He saw some people with eyes like his.
