    Neva

    Pronounced NEE-vuh

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Neva does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Snow; New; Bright", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Neva.

    "Snow; New; Bright"
    Origin

    Neva speaks of snow-white purity — the cleansing God promises. 'Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.' Neva represents the radical transformation of divine forgiveness that makes the stained spotless.

    Spiritual meaning

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
