The name "Eve" in Hebrew is "Chavah" (חַוָּה), which means "living" or "life." It is derived from the Hebrew root that signifies to breathe or to give life.
The name "Eve" itself likely comes from the Greek version, the Septuagint. It doesn't mean "mother of all living" in classical philology.

nothing like googling "how much meat in a cow" to make me feel like I'm doing real classical philology

The Eternal speaks. This is similar to how humans speak, but it takes much, much longer for the Eternal to say something than it takes for humans to say something. Therefore, philology is the language of the Eternal. Nietzsche knew this, which is what made him so profound.

what I love about LotR is that it is at its heart about moving through a melancholy landscape largely filled with ruins, faded histories and legends - I would have filmed it that way and cut the fights to a bare minimum, plus add Merry's interest in comparative philology as a major plot element

You know, given his love of philology and the age of the word, I suspect it would have upset Tolkien a lot less than having a character say something new-fangled like ‘hello.’
The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?
"I can't carry it for you, but I can Fucking carry you"

I studied photography, then philology and literature, then IT... Though my true love has always been art and storytelling.
I currently work as a software developer by day and artist by night. Though in an ideal world I would spend all my time creating art 💜

A language is something infinitely greater than grammar and philology. It is the poetic testament of the genius of a race and a culture, and the living embodiment of the thoughts and fanciesthat have moulded them

Buahahaha this was a topic in both English philology and sociology you could easily write an extended essay alone, when I was in university for the first time... 30 years ago 😅
Definitely a thing, and been a thing for quite a long time.

Considering how niche this is, you should be able to find sources using the names. I changed careers and haven’t looked back, but I’m pretty sure I have a book somewhere about polemics in classical philology, which should be a bigger field. I’ll see if I can find it.

Nietzsche was a classicist before illness forced him to focus on writing. He had major beef with Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, who became a giant in classical philology, but was not yet a professor. Erwin Rohde pointedly called them Professor Nietsche and Doctor Wilamowitz. Get a job, Ulrich!
