History & Origin

Neaveh is a variant of Nevaeh, the modern American name that is simply 'Heaven' spelled backwards. Nevaeh took off in the early 2000s, and respellings like Neaveh followed; the meaning is honestly just the reversed word Heaven.

It was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak around 2009, well behind Nevaeh itself. A girl named Neaveh then is in her mid-teens now.

Did you know? Nevaeh reads 'Heaven' in reverse, and Neaveh is one of its many respellings, so the name is really the word Heaven turned back to front.
