The name Nye is of Danish origin and means 'snow'. It is composed of two elements: 'ny' meaning 'new', and 'e' which could be a shortened form of several names such as Else, Ellen, or Emma. This gives the name a double-layered meaning, suggesting renewal or freshness. Nye is often used in Scandinavian countries but has gained international recognition in recent years.
Nye is an uncommon name with few occurrences each year between 2002 and 2017, totaling seventeen births over this period.
