History & Origin

It is the ordinary Spanish word for rain used directly as a given name, the way English speakers might choose a nature word. The double 'll' opens it with the soft Spanish 'y' sound rather than a hard 'l'. As a name it carries the imagery of rainfall without any added layer of meaning.

The pronunciation, roughly 'YOO-vee-ah', gives it a distinctly Spanish musicality. A Mexican luchadora competes under the single ring name Lluvia for the CMLL promotion.
