About Kove
Kove has the beachy feel of Ocean, Kai, and Koa, but unlike its more traditionally spelled counterpart, it looks less visually similar to Covid, at least. Associated with nooks and crannies, but perhaps more appealingly with small protected bays by the sea, Kove was given to 17 girls in a recent year, while Cove was chosen for 81.
UK based influencers Liana Jade and Connor Darlington named their daughter Kove in 2025, which may give the name a boost in coming years.
Pronounced KOHV.
As of October 2026, Kove ranked #4412 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #4157 in 2022.
Editor's take: The name Kove is a girl's name of English origin meaning "small bay".
