Names (personal, company)
I'm looking for a hebrew name for a girl that would mean : she will bring many to life, not physicaly only but spiritualy as well... she will bring increase and prosperity. It could be just "giver of life" or "giver of a new life"
It goes along with the blessing of Rivkah in Gen 24:60. It says "may you become (the mother of)thousands of ten thousands" or "may you increase to thousands upon thousands"
Thank you for your help !!

Chava (Eve)
The direct translation of the Hebrew name Chava (Eve in other languages) is 'giver of life'.
You might also consider 'Geula' meaning 'rebirth, revival, renaissance', if this meaning is related to what you are looking for.

My main answer is Chava (Eve). Aren't you too quick to press 'disagree'? In other language pairs people almost don't use it out of respect to their colleagues.
