No, Eve is a very old word. In Hebrew it's a verb - cha·yah´, "live" or some translate it "breathing one".
Evil in Hebrew was ra`, variously translated as “bad,” “gloomy,” “ugly,” “evil,” “calamitous,” “malignant,” “ungenerous,” and “envious.” Evil comes from an old Germanic word 'Übel' and the Dutch 'Euvel'.
