Fei Xia Wa
(Eva Wollerup Fischer)

Fei is a traditional Chinese last name.

Xia Wa is Chinese for Eva - my Christian name. It is actually a derivation from “Cha Wa” which is the pronunciation of Eva in Hebrew. This name came to China with the first Catholic missionaries.

“Xia” is Chinese for Summer while “Wa” is a young girl.

The name as such is unusual in a Chinese context. Its meaning and background adds  a Boheme and intellectual air to the name.
