Nevina is Gaelic, Irish in Origin.
Nevina is a rare feminine name with layered roots. In Irish and Scottish Gaelic it is read as a feminine elaboration of Nevin, derived from Irish naomh “saint” and the diminutive Naoimhin, giving the sense of “saintly” or “little saint.” In Italian, Nevina comes from neve “snow” plus the diminutive -ina, “little snow,” a poetic nod to purity and winter. In South Slavic languages, nevina is the feminine adjective for “innocent,” which also underpins occasional given-name use.
Documented in small numbers since the late 19th-20th centuries across Italy, the British Isles, and the Balkans, the name remains uncommon. Variants and related forms include Nevine and Nevin (Gaelic/Anglicized), Neve and Neva (Italian), and the sound-alike Nevena/Nevenka in South Slavic (separate etymology, “marigold”). Short forms Nevi or Nena are sometimes used.
