Geva and Cushla meanings
These are two girls' names that don't have 'profiles' on this site. I've found a couple of websites that have Geva (JEE-va) as being Hebrew for 'hill', but at least one of those sites has seriously dodgy meanings for other names. Can anyone confirm/deny this meaning? I have approximately zero knowledge of Hebrew after 'Hanukkah', 'dreidel', and 'rabbi'. :-PCushla (cush to rhyme with 'push') is an odd one. It has a user-submitted meaning on here 'beat of my heart', but no language of origin, and it sounds a bit like one of those 'Nevaeh is Swahili for butterfly' type things. I know/know of four women with this name, ranging in age from 18-42. I think it's kinda ugly as a name, but I'm intrigued. Anyone have any ideas? I used to think it might be Indian or something, but all the people I know of with the name are Caucasian (which doesn't discount it from being Indian, of course, but makes it less likely)."Join me again for next week's episode of 'Let's Make No F****** Sense' when I will be waxing an owl."
