Nevaeh

Means nothing. It’s simply heaven spelled backwards. No real meaning.

My name is Nevaeh and it only means belief and good luck.

One last thing: If you MUST have this kind of name, I suggest you manoeuvre on to the Arabic pronunciation Nuh-VA-ya (نوايا ) to get an actual REAL meaning (it means "intention") and spell it Navaiya (it's best to avoid the spelling Navaya as it could lead to pronunciation confusion and constant correcting because some may mistakingly say the common pronunciation neh-VAY-uh; this spelling can possibly draw a strong familiarity to Nevaeh, so a person will presume like how the majority seem to agree neh-VAY-uh would be the standard pronunciation of Nevaeh). I think the Arabic meaning and pronunciation is quite nice whereas NEVEAH has no single, exact & correct pronunciation (I found out people have different opinions on how they want this name to be said aloud, some say neh-VAY-uh, some say Neh-VA-yuh) and it has no meaning (sorry, but "Heaven spelt backwards" is NOT a meaning, it's just a description about how it was created). So use Navaiya instead!

I really hope if you're tempted to use Nevaeh you listen to what I've said and have the common sense to spell if Navaiya or perhaps even, use a COMPLETELY different name (either method being done for the sake of your daughter's future).

The Arabic word نوايا sounds kind of similar to neh-VAY-uh (though it's technically pronounced Nuh-VAA-yaa) and it means "intention". I know the second letter "و" has a "w" sound but the Arabic, Persian and Urdu language can also translate this letter with the equivalent of the English letter "v". (:

I don't know where this person's cousin got the idea that this is an Icelandic name meaning anything whatsoever. It is not Icelandic, means nothing in Icelandic and it would actually be illegal to name an Icelandic child this since it is not on the list of approved names. Check the mannanafnaskrá, these are the names beginning with N that you can call a baby girl: http://www.island.is/islensk-nofn?Stafrof=n&Nafn=&Stulkur=on&Samthykkt=yes.

Nevaeh is is also found in ancient alchemist Triangle Book by the count of St. Germain to be "the secret word to enter paradise." I think people who watch enough pornography to remember a pornstar's stage name sound a lot trashier than "heaven spelled backward." I just read that the first celebrity to name his daughter Nevaeh was Sonny Sandoval from the Christian band POD, and he sounds much more intelligent and sophisticated then the anonymous trash slinging commentators on this page.

I was searching for a name that meant "miracle" for my husband and I to conceive after we were told that we couldn't. The only name I found was Hebrew Nesia meaning "Miracle of God." I can only imagine what negative comments I would hear from a name like that, "sounds like nausea", and a nasal cleanse also shares the same name, a name that actually meant something.

I LIKE the way Nevaeh sounds, and so do other people I've talked to. All the petty comments here will mean nothing if a parent tells their child, "WE named you Nevaeh because you ARE a gift from heaven."

The name Spanish name Nívea would be a good alternative for parents who would like a similar sounding name but who also want a traditional origin and a meaning.

Nívea del Valle is a character from Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits (La Casa de los Espíritus). Her name means “snow.” She is played by Vanessa Redgrave in the movie version.

Some people like to assign meanings to Nevaeh, like "heaven-sent" or "butterfly." However, parents considering naming their daughters Nevaeh should be advised that these meanings are completely fictional. Nevaeh has no meaning apart from "Heaven spelled backwards." Period.

It means heaven sent.
