( Evangeline): n./adj. A woman's name, the root word being evangel, to bring good news. Related to evangelism, militant zeal for a cause. Can also be used as an adjective in place of evangelical. The tale follows Evangeline and Gabriel, elite young lovers whose engagement is broken off by the 1755 Acadian deportation, through an ordeal of separation and eventual tragic reunion. In this mythology, Evangeline emerges as a heroine representing the traditional value of fidelity...Evangeline pursues her destiny...she is rarely seen in action...rather, she is transported, while Gabriel is allowed the full restlessness of the Western pioneer.

Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie is a poem by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It describes the betrothal of an Acadian girl named Evangeline to her lover, Gabriel, and their separation as the British deport the Acadians from Canada in the Great Expulsion. The poem then follows Evangeline across the landscapes of America as she spends years in a search for him.

Evangeline was a 1981 album by Emmylou Harris that was comprised mostly of leftover material from past recording sessions, which hadn't fit into any of her other albums. Songs included a remake of "Mister Sandman" (from the ill-fated trio sessions with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt), "Evangeline", which she had previously performed with The Band, Rodney Crowell's "Ashes By Now", and a cover of John Fogerty's "Bad Moon Rising". Though it received mixed reviews upon its release, the album sold well.

Evangeline is a 1980s comic book co-created and written initially by then husband and wife team Chuck Dixon & Judith Hunt with pencils and inks by published professional illustrators Judith Hunt & Ricardo Villagran. Letters were by cartoonist and letterer Ed J. King of the Star Wars comic strip.
