Meaning & History
Niv is a Hebrew unisex name with a dual meaning: it can denote “speech, expression” or “fang, tusk” in Hebrew. The ambiguity reflects the word's Semitic roots, where the same root can branch into different concepts. As a modern given name, Niv is used in Israel for both boys and girls, often chosen for its short, crisp sound and connection to ancient language.
