That would extremely difficult, even for an ancient Egyptian scribe. There were single-consonant signs often used for spelling out foreign names, but the Egyptian language had no "v" sound, so no sign representing it.
Since vowels were not written and the v sound does not exist in the language, a scribe would struggle to represent the name Evan; he would have to write an approximation. Perhaps he would settle on something like if3n, where the i and the 3 are consonants that do not exist in English.
This would be written with the upright "reed" sign (i) followed by the horned viper (f) over an Egyptian vulture (3) followed by the horizontal zigzig line for water (n).
Since this represents the name of a person it would be followed by the sign for a kneeling man (a determinative).
