About the name Nevaeh
Nevaeh is a modern American coinage: 'heaven' spelled backwards. It barely existed in U.S. birth records before 2000. Sonny Sandoval, singer of the band P.O.D., named his daughter Nevaeh and explained the meaning in an MTV interview that year, and the name climbed fast through the 2000s on its way to its 2010s peak.
