A righteous air of integrity, the embodiment of reliability and honor, like an oak standing tall amidst a verdant forest. He carries ancient virtues with him, echoing the wisdom of generations past. He brings forth a sense of security and trustworthiness to all who cross his path. With each lavender syllable, blossoms of kindness and compassion swirl into view. I do believe Evander is a spirit of goodness who shrines brightly in a world often shrouded in darkness.
I absolutely love this name and I love the meaning. The nickname Evan is cute. I have so many combos to go with it, Evander Zeus, Evander Jay, Evander Joseph...
I absolutely love Evander and I'm not typically a fan of 3+ syllable names. I have 2 boys, Roman and Cassius (cash-us) and if our 3rd is a boy he will be Evander!
Handsome name, with roots in history, appealing nicknames Evan/Van/Vander, so on, or great enough on its own. Wonderful meaning- who doesn't want their son to grow up and become a "good man"? Currently my favorite choice for a future son.

Evander Holyfield is a heavyweight boxer. Mike Tyson once got thrown out of a match for biting Holyfield's ear twice, and he defeated Riddick Bowe in the notorious "Fan Man" match, where James Miller parachuted into the match.
I love the name Evander, it's a great alternative to Alexander and it has a good meaning! If I have a son one day he will most likely be named Evander!

It's one of my middle names. I'm also using it for a character in my novel. I find it quite a strong, masculine name, like Alexander (which is similar).
Evander I would say is quite a masculine, strong name, when you think of it. Leave out the translation, origin, and pronunciation. Plainly look at the spelling! The spelling alone is a marvel of its own. I once wrote a story that contained a character by the name of 'Evander'. A fabulous bearer of the name, one whom would do it justice.
Evander Cane is a Canadian Hockey player for the World Jr.'s. I have to say I love the name!

This is one of my absolute favorite names. It's really beautiful, and I'm using it for one of my favorite story characters, and that just makes me adore it even more.
