Kova Origin and Meaning

The name Kova is a girl's name meaning "small bay".

Once rejected for their similarities to COVID-19, Cove and company have officially rebounded. Cove and Kove are given more than 100 babies each year, and modern creations like Kovi and Kova are springing up on the charts.

Kova is currently a truly gender-neutral name, given to male and female babies in almost equal numbers. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield welcomed a daughter named Kova Jade in 2024, which may push this name toward the girls' side.
