in reply to a message by Jim Young
Information found on the Family Search website -
Margaretha Ewigen, born Bavaria 1629, daughter of Cunz and Cath. Ewigen.
Margareta Nielsdatter ("daughter of Niels") Evigen, born Folda, Norway, 1749.
Elizabeth Evigan, daughter of Charles and Sophie, born Middlesex, New Jersey, 1851.
Margaret Evigen (sic), daughter of Charles and Sophie, born Middlesex, NJ, 1854.
Other Evigan notices locating the name in Middlesex, NJ.
So Evigan could be from either the German Ewigan, apparently no longer extant in its homeland, or from Norwegian Evigen.
It's noteworthy that the actor Greg Evigan was born Amboy, Middlesex, NJ. Doubtless the US Evigans are all one family.
Ewig is a German surname and place name.
