Geva is a Hebrew name meaning "hill" or "elevation," taken from a biblical place name.
Geva is a Hebrew name meaning hill or elevation, and it also comes from a biblical place name. That combination of place and landscape gives it a compact but grounded sense of height and setting.
In biblical naming, a place-name source often brings with it a feeling of memory and location, as though the name carries a piece of terrain into personal identity. As a given name, Geva is short, direct, and quietly distinctive. It has the kind of clean, open sound that makes it easy to pronounce while still feeling uncommon in many English-speaking settings.
The name suggests breadth and upward reach without sounding grandiose. Geva feels restrained and elemental, with the calm dignity of a name tied to earth, scripture, and place at once.
