Genesis 3:20 NASB
Now the man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.
Why does Adam rename Eve? Why did he he give her that name of living when death entered the Garden through her?
Perhaps renaming her was due to now being cursed to be under the rule of Adam. Her status has changed as a result of disobedience. We would see something similar to this happen again when Israel disobeyed God and lost her favored status with Him.
She did give birth to living men, but they shared the life of all living creatures. But through her descendants would come the one that would bring the true life of God to mankind.
Christ will give us a new name that will reflect our restoration to new life.
