Her father is of Swedish, Breton, and French descent. Her mother was born in Algeria, of French, Sephardi Jewish, and Spanish background, considered to be Pied-Noir, with roots in Birkhadem. Eva has described herself as Jewish; “a secular Jew who never attended synagogue as a girl.” At the moment, she is known to have a Sephardi great-grandfather. It is not clear if she has any other Jewish-born and/or convert to Judaism ancestors on her mother’s side.

Eva’s paternal grandfather was Bror Lennart Green (the son of Bror Ulrik Green and Maria Amalia “Mia” Lundmark). Eva’s grandfather Bror was Swedish, born in Haparanda, Norrbotten County. Eva’s great-grandfather Bror was the son of Olof Wilhelm Green and Karolina Vilhelmina Kock. Eva’s great-grandmother, known as Mia Green, was a photographer and feminist activist. She was the daughter of Maria Christina Lundmark.

Eva’s paternal grandmother was Jeanne Le Flem (the daughter of Marie Paul Achille Auguste Le Flem and Jeanne Louise Yvonne Marie Even). Eva’s grandmother Jeanne was French, born in Paris. Eva’s great-grandfather, known as Paul Le Flem, was a notable composer and music critic. He was the son of Célestin Louis Joseph Marie Le Flem and Gabrielle Marie Dorenlo. Eva’s great-grandmother Jeanne was the daughter of Jacques Michel Marie Even and Palmire Marie Droniou.

Eva’s maternal grandfather was named Charles Jobert (the son of Augustine Jobert). Charles was born in Dijon, Côte-d’Or, France, and was in the French army. Augustine was the daughter of Madeleine Jobert, who was of French background.

Eva’s maternal grandmother was Éliane/Andrée Azoulay/Azulay (the daughter of Abraham Azulay and María Joaquina Blanca de la Santísima Trinidad García Martín). Éliane was born in Birkhadem, Algiers. Abraham was Sephardi Jewish, from Algiers, and was the son of Josúe Azulay and Mazaltob Dahan.
