Nevenah is English in Origin.

Nevenah is most plausibly an Anglicized variant of the South Slavic name Nevena, derived from neven, the common word for marigold (Calendula) in Bulgarian, Serbian, and Croatian. The flower’s long use in folk remedies lends the name associations with healing, warmth, and endurance, and Nevena has been steadily used in the Balkans through the 19th and 20th centuries. A masculine counterpart Neven and the affectionate diminutive Nevenka are well attested in the region.

In English-speaking contexts, the -ah ending of Nevenah mirrors familiar forms like Sarah or Hannah, and the spelling may be shaped by the wider vogue for -ah names alongside look-alike Nevaeh (unrelated in meaning). Recognized variants and relatives include Nevena, the pet form Nevenka, and the masculine Neven. The core meaning remains "marigold," carrying associations of health, vitality, and constancy.
