Nevaeh is a modern American name created by spelling "Heaven" backwards. It is one of the rare names with a documented moment of origin: in 2000, the wife of Christian rock musician Sonny Sandoval announced his daughter's name on MTV, and the name went from non-existent to the U.S. top 100 in seven years.
Nevaeh has become particularly popular in evangelical Christian families. It now sits in the U.S.
Nevaeh does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Nevaeh reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
