Naming system
Evangelions were numbered from Evangelion Unit-00 onwards, the prototype Eva-00 being the first successful Eva in a very long line of (unnumbered) failures. Eva-01 is the "Test Type", possibly because it is the only one derived from Lilith. Eva-02 was the "First Production Model" Eva. Eva-03 and Eva-04 were sister units, identical copies; they are also called "Production Model" though there were some slight changes to the design (Production Model variant-B?). The canceled Eva-05 and Eva-06 would presumably have been the Third Production Model. Finally came the Mass Production Evangelions.
Eva-00, 01 and 02 use the Kanji numerals for zero, one and two respectively. Eva-03 onwards are named with roman numerals instead. All of them follow the -gouki system of numbering.
Notes
- Evas are referred to as "copies" of Adam, and, in the Classified Information files, by the awkward phrase "clonal regenerations" (in reference to the "Adam Revival Project", or Project E). In real life use, "clone" means an exact genetic copy, which, considering the differences the Evas exhibit amongst themselves, they clearly cannot be.
- According to Ritsuko in Episode 01, the formal full name for the Evangelion Units (almost never actually used) is "Ultimate All-Purpose Humanoid Decisive Battle Weapon: Evangelion".
