According to Wikipedia[0], it's EVE Online. I couldn't find any notes on where the name came from, however.

EVE is just the name of an area in the game where humans came through into this "new world". https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/EVE_Gate

The game has a serious amount of lore behind it and it's been years since I played so I may be over generalising
