[Facts] Liva and Livanur
In German and Dutch baby name statistics, there is a very recent uptrend for the name Liva. Because there is also Livanur, a typical Turkish composed name, I suspect that Liva is also a newly fashionable Turkish name. Both Liva and Livanur are names for girls.However, I am completely lacking any clues of its derivation and why it is suddenly that popular. The closest match I have found so far is Arabic liwa' "flag", "brigade" (several islamistic organisations fighting against the Syrian government carry Liwa' in their names).Can someone here shed more light on these names?--elbowin
