ArchivesRe: Neveon
in reply to a message by Silver
Hi Silver,
maybe it is related to the Gaelic name Naomhin (male, pronounced NUH-veen, English spelling Nevin)? That one derives from the word "naomh" (saint).

Now just remembering previous bantering of you all intellectual sorts, often certain letters can be easily exchanged from language to language (w=v, v=f, j=w yada yada) and so what is the chances of this being related, like when Gaelic names are Anglicized (sp??) would this be a likely outcome for either Neveon or Niveon.
Thanks so much (I luv Gaelic names!)

In Latin, and spelt with the i rather than the e, it would mean Snowy White. And where I live - perhaps where you live too? - there's a range of skin creams and such, called Nivea, to give us that untanned look I presume!

Untanned, no. Younger, yes. Nivea is really a product line. Most of their products are one of the thousands of products out there that purport to "reduce wrinkles and make you look 15/20/insert-X-number-of-years younger". Nivea also sells moisturising cremes, facial cleansers, and other similar assorted bath/beauty products, all with the same claim that they "make you look younger".

No ambition to look younger - I know when I'm beaten - but I bought some Nivea sunblock last week and used it through two days outdoors - which were grey and drizzly, so I don't really know if it worked or not. But for a whole morning I streamed with tears because it got into my eyes! I must have seemed to be supporting the losing team, which is NOT the case! (South Africa v West Indies, cricket, 5-day test match. We won - yaay!)
