The name Cova is a girl's name meaning "cave; Cave of Our Lady".

Succinct and punchy, Cova is a name of Spanish origin, most often used as a diminutive form of Covadonga. The longform is a place name, roughly translated as "Cave of Our Lady" (though "cave of the spring" might be more accurate). Covadonga's use as a given name is due to it being a site of a shrine to the Virgin Mary.

By itself, Cova is simply the Spanish word for cave and may have more international appeal than its longform. It could also be interpreted as an elaboration of the rising English word name, Cove, meaning "small inlet on the coast", or  a spin on the Italian word <em>covo</em> meaning "nest, den".
