Variant of Nevaeh (Heaven spelled backward) or Alivyah
Laveah is a modern American invention, most likely created as a phonetic variant of Nevaeh or a stylized version of Alivyah (Olivia). While some associate it with the Hebrew word 'lev' meaning heart, it lacks a direct historical etymology and is primarily chosen for its melodic sound.
