Nev is a short, crisp feminine name that packs significant character into its brief form. It may function as a diminutive of longer names like Nevaeh, Neve, or Genevieve. With Celtic origins, particularly in Irish and Scottish traditions, the similar name Neve means 'bright' or 'radiant.' As a standalone name, Nev has gained modest popularity in recent decades as parents increasingly favor concise, gender-flexible names. Its simplicity makes it internationally accessible, while its uncommonness ensures individuality. Nev has a contemporary feel while maintaining a timeless quality, making it appealing to parents seeking a name that is both modern and substantial despite its brevity.
