How Arabic Wikipedia spells Evelyn

Why إيفلين is spelled this way

Evelyn is spelled by its sound, and Arabic has no letter for some English sounds, so each choice below follows a rule. إيفلين starts with the letter إ, alif with hamza below. One letter, إ alif with hamza below, never joins the letter after it, so إيفلين always shows one small gap.

• Evelyn is not in our name tool's table, and its sound rules give إيفلين, the spelling three of the five Arabic Wikipedia titles use.
• Arabic has no v, so the v is fāʾ, ف.
• The other two titles, for the percussionist Evelyn Glennie and the writer Evelyn Underhill, add a yāʾ, إيفيلين, for the middle vowel that English says lightly.
