Neyva is in Origin.
Neyva is a modern feminine name, likely a creative respelling of Neiva or Nieva and akin to Neva/Neve. Etymology points to Iberia: Neiva is a Portuguese river and place of pre-Roman (uncertain) origin, while Spanish nieva means “it snows,” tying the name to the Romance nev-/nieve/neve root and snow imagery. It may also allude to Latin Naevia, from naevus “birthmark,” implying a distinctive or marked child.
Usage is recent and rare, seen in the Americas since the late 20th century, especially in Latin America and among U.S. Latino families; it has not reached the U.S. Top 1000. Variants and cognates include Neiva, Nieva, Neva, Neve, Naeva/Naeva, and the elaboration Neyvah; related are Spanish Marian forms Nieves/Neves. Nicknames: Ney, Nevy, Eva.
