Meaning & background
(NEE-eh-vay / NEEV depending on how you adapt it): Snow-linked and pretty, but definitely one to choose a pronunciation for. It first appears in American naming data in 1996. It currently sits off the most-common lists, a quieter choice. Roughly 195 people have been given the name to date — a true rarity.
