History & Origin

Envee is a modern name that reads in two honest ways. Most plainly, it respells the English word envy, which came through Old French from Latin invidia ('envy, ill will') - a word-name in the manner of Destiny or Heaven, though a more unusual choice than those. It may equally be intended as the initials N.V. written out, following the American pattern that gives Jaycee (J.C.) and Elle. We state both readings plainly rather than inventing an older source (said 'EN-vee').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, bold, and word-based.

Did you know? Envee reads two ways: as a respelling of the word envy, from Latin invidia, and as the initials N.V. written out in full - a well-used American way of making a name from letters.
