Saint or holy
Nevina is a rare feminine form likely derived from the Irish name Nevin, which comes from the Gaelic 'NaomhΓ‘n' meaning 'little saint'. It is also sometimes associated with the Latin word for snow, 'nix', though its primary roots are Celtic. It offers a unique alternative to more common names like Neve or Niamh.
