In the new novel of Jeffery Archer, “False Impression,” there is the following conversation between the heroine, Anne who has snatched Van Gogh’s self-portrait away from a murderer banker, Bryce Fenston, and is trying to sell it to Nakamura, a Japanese business leader and well-known art collectors on behalf of the proper British proprietor, Arabella Wentworth:

“Artist?”

“Van Gogh.”

“Title?”

“Self-portrait with Bandaged Ear.”

“With a famous Japanese print reproduced on the wall behind the artist, if I remember correctly,” said Nakamura.

“Geisha in a Landscape,” said Anna, demonstrating Van Gogh’s fascination with Japanese culture.”

“You should have been christened Eve,” said Nakamura.

I don’t know what “You should have been christened Eve,” mean. I came across with the word, “christened Eve” for the first time. Can you tell me what it means?
