Girl name · 199 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Nevaeh: 199 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 18 births in 2021.
Nevaeh is "heaven" spelled backwards, a name coined in modern America with no historical linguistic root, though its spiritual meaning is widely understood. The name first gained global attention through the musician Sonny Sandoval of the Christian rock band P.O.D., who named his daughter Nevaeh in 1999, sparking a surge in popularity. There are no major places directly named after a bearer due to its recent invention, but it shares a thematic link with other virtue and celestial names like Grace or Sky. A remarkable correlation is that Nevaeh has consistently ranked among Scotland’s top 100 baby girl names since the early 2000s, proving its enduring appeal far beyond its American origin.
