Nevaeh probably does mean "butterfly" in Armenian, because it does not look Slavic at all. It looks more Turkic or Armenian. As for Serihilde, I think hilde comes from the Old Norse "hildr" or Germanic "hild", which meant "battle". I have no idea where seri comes from though.

Evidence please . . .

Please quote your sources that indicate that Nevaeh may be Armenian or Turkic. You must provide evidence to back up your claims, especially as the idea has already been disproven by Cleveland Kent Evans, who is somewhat of a names expert and highly respected around here.

Oh sorry, I didn't notice Cleveland Kent Evans' response, I was browsing kind of quickly. I'll pay closer attention next time.
