What Does the Name Neah Mean?
Neah is a given name of uncertain meaning and origin. Its spelling matches a Hebrew place name, Neah (נֵעָה), mentioned in Joshua 19:13 as a point on the boundary of Zebulun. Some traditional Bible name lists gloss that place name as "wandering" or "moving," but its etymology is not certain, and those glosses do not establish the meaning of the personal name. The name is not clearly a variant of Nia or Nea; a resemblance in spelling alone does not show a shared origin.
