name 
	Evans may be a play on the word even. One of the definitions 
for 
even is:	
	a. Equal or identical in degree, extent, or amount: Use even 
	amounts of butter and sugar. 
	b. Equally matched or balanced: an even fight. 
	c. Just; fair: an even bargain. 
	d. Having nothing due on either side; square: If we each take 
	half, then we'll be even. 
	e. Having exacted full revenge. 

	Mark Evans = mark evens = mark equal 

As in "And he will mark him as his equal"
