1. I can't find Serihilde, but if it does exist, the -hilde part would probably have the same derivation as Hilda.
2. Probably not. It's hard to exactly figure out the Armenian alphabet's relationship to the online Armenian-English dictionary I found, but it looks to me like the main Armenian word for butterfly would be something like "titernag" when written in the Roman alphabet. In my Armenian name dictionary (Armenian First Names, by Nicholas Awde & Emanuela Losi), the closest girls' names to Nevaeh are Nevrig, Nirva, Nvart, and Nver, and I really don't think it's likely that Nevaeh is derived from any of those.
3. No clue, sorry.
