I'd guess that it's actually EvE as in PvP and PvE, but even if that is the case I doubt the E is environment, one of my corpies suggested Everyone, which seems likely. Does anyone know? and if not what ideas do you have?

1. Don't think it does have any meaning
2. Why does 'v' have to be versus
3. It should be PvN (People versus Nodes)

It doesn't stand for anything.
Its a word. You know, Eve. Like the biblical character. Or the short form of evening.

Backstory 
Bible - Eden (A new beginning) - Adam and EVE - EVE the game.
So pretty much EVE means Girl. Or of course, Entertainment Vernacular Entiendo!

According to the intro movie "Eve" is the name given to the new universe discovered on the other side of a wormhole

this is correct, and where the game gets it's name from.

Ok, but why'd the devs call the universe EVE.
The word has 2 meanings that I can think of:
1: A female name, with a notable example early in the bible.
2: The edge of some change, ie new years eve, or eve of the apocalypse.
3: It's always in caps, it could be an acronym.

1. Maybe.
2. Yes, more backstory garble
3. No.

Eve was the name of the wormhole in New Eden. It is based of Christian/ Biblical lore. As the "eve" in the bible is the mother of humanity, so too was "eve" the wormhole a mother to a new civilisation. The system "eve" is based is called New Eden. The ties were pretty obvious I thought...
Also the EvE thing is purely marketing, although it is interesting that pvp and pve developed out of eve.

Despite the obvious reference to the first land of the Christian Bible, I still like to think of it as "Enemy Versus Enemy"--basically the same as "Everybody Versus Everybody", and a play on most other games' PvE or PvP emphasis. It really seems to fit. I'd be interested to find out if the game conceptualizers gave it their game and universe a name that could be interpreted that way intentionally.

That sparked an idea.
Eve was the wormhole that took the first people into the EVE Universe, aswell as being 'The first land'
Anyway, thats enough lollore for me.

There were two galactic gates. One near Earth, called "The Adam Gate" and one in our region called "The Eve Gate". They were used to stabalise the wormhole that joined the two regions.

A thorax flew into a wormhole. Three quarters of a year later a new civilization was born. It's the miracle of EVE.
It's just a name. No need to read too deeply into it. 
BTW...Adam gate? Near Earth? Did I read the wrong backstory?

There's too many acronyms out there all ready. So many now, that people are apparently assuming that words that aren't acronyms, are.
Sorry, but I just felt that was a bit funny.

From what I can remember from all of the elements from the backstory...
~~~
A stable wormhole was found that allowed humans to travel through it. It was soon discovered that the wormhole was not as stable as was though and gates were built at each end to reinforce it.
The 'galaxy' that the wormhole lead to from Earth was named New Eden, as was the star system that it immediately lead to.
The wormhole eventually collapsed fully, cutting off the colonies from supplies and most died out. The memories of their origins (and the story or Earth and "Eve") faded in the minds of the survivors.
Remote exploration to the collapsed wormhole revealed the gate that once guarded it. The most prominent of its markings (and the most understandable) is one word - "EVE". While its true meaning is unknown to the people of New Eden, this term was considered to be of unique significance and eventually became another name for the world in which we reside.
~~~
So, even by the backstory we aren't supposed to know what EVE actually refers to. I have heard the story of the gate pairs "Adam" and "Eve", Adam being the name of the gate on the Earth side of the wormhole, but I'm not sure if that was official background or not - certainly a possibility though.
My personal theory is that EVE is indeed an acronym of some sorts, or a fragment of a larger message (or symbol), that has just been weathered beyond recognition by the accident.

EVE was the only writing left on the massive jumpgate within which the anomaly of the New Eden system resides, this is known to be a highly unstable, partially collapsed naturally forming wormhole.
In light of the fact that we seem to be alien in origin, we have named the region of space we live in EVE.
But as far as game design goes, since the subtitle of the original release is New Genesis, I would guess that EVE is a biblical reference.

Would be cool if the devs implement a expansion thats contains a secret dimensional gate or a ancient intergalactic gate that was built several thousand years that you must discover from clues scattered all around the EVE universe. This would also mean that all the races would have to help each other which also takes time due th player piracy so on.
Remember, just an idea.

Such as the EVE gate? 
An ancient alien (i.e., not human) jumpgate would be pretty cool though, as a long-term event. We know there are some ruins discovered that were not of human origin, so there may very well be some ruined jumpgate network, perhaps in a decaying orbit tracing back to the current solar gravitational nodes...
