As noted by Behind the Name, Evangeline also has literary roots. The name was famously used by poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in the 1847 poem Evangeline.
The name Jo also has a literary connection, as it's the name of one of the central characters in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. Per Behind the Name, Joseph, the name Jinger and Jeremy got their baby's middle name from, can trace itself back to the Hebrew name Yosef which means "he will add." Evangeline will no doubt add plenty of joy to the family.
It's not surprising that Jinger and Jeremy picked a name so packed with meaning for their little one. Their older daughter, Felicity, also has a name with quite the meaning behind it. According to Behind the Name, Felicity means "happiness" and ultimately comes from the Latin word felicitas which means "good luck."
