I don't like Onerva, but that is such a crazily pretty meaning!
Is that the proper meaning or is it just a poetic meaning someone has attached to the name? Cos according to the entry history, it's "derived" from 'odelma' meaning 'aftergrass; the hay grown after harvesting' and Odelma ---> Onerva is one heck of a leap. Also I think Odelma is probably prettier than Onerva :/

To be honest, I'm not sure. "Onerva/odelma" is an old word from the time when Finland was still an agrarian society: because of the urbanization these words have been forgotten and only few people know their real meanings. So, I don't know if "onerva" was derived from "odelma" or if they were just synonyms used in different areas etc.
However, there's a name, which is related to Onerva based on its spelling: Kanerva (http://www.behindthename.com/name/kanerva/submitted). It can be that "odelma" was the proper word and someone just got an idea to mix it with Kanerva, and thus Onerva was born.
