Nived is a unique and distinctive first name of Sanskrit origin, meaning 'dedicated to Lord Shiva'. It is often considered unisex, although it is more commonly used for individuals assigned female at birth. The name Nived can be written in various forms such as Nivedita, Niveditha, or Nivedya, each adding a slight variation in pronunciation and spelling. In some cultures, particularly Hindu and South Asian communities, the name holds significant spiritual importance due to its association with Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in Hinduism.
"Nived experienced a peak in popularity from 2016 to 2017 with 9 and 11 births respectively, but has since seen a decrease to 5 births in 2020."
