Eva Lund was born at Kongsvinger in Hedmark, Norway. She was twelve years old when her journalist parents emigrated to the United States in 1919. The family moved to Decorah, Iowa in 1927, where both parents worked for the Norwegian-American newspaper, Decorah-Posten. Her father, Einar Lund (1880- 1963) was editor of the newspaper from 1946 to 1962.
She attended the University of Illinois in 1930-1931. She received her B.A. degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. In 1932, she married to American linguist Einar Haugen with whom she was author, co-editor or translator of several books. Separately, she was author and translator of several published works relating to Norwegian-American heritage. She is most associated with her work as translator and editor in connection with works of Norwegian writer and Nobel Prize laureate, Bjornstjerne Bjornson.
