Meaning & origin

Aeva is a modern, uncommon name first recorded in U.S. births in 1999. It reached its peak popularity in 2008, and has since been on a gradual decline. As of the latest data, it ranked 8,362, with approximately 1 in 133,939 newborns receiving the name. The trajectory has been falling since 2009. Its origin is likely a creative respelling of Ava or Eva, fitting a trend of vowel-heavy, short names with a contemporary feel. Aeva has not been associated with any top states, suggesting its usage is sparse and widely scattered across the country.

Aeva first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1999, likely as a creative respelling of Ava or Eva, both names of Germanic and Hebrew origin respectively. The spelling with 'ae' gives it a contemporary, distinctive look without a traditional etymology.
