Origin and meaning of Nerea
Nerea is a Basque name formed from the possessive nere, 'my', plus the ending -a, giving the affectionate sense of 'my (little girl)'; some interpretations also link it by sound to the Nereids of Greek mythology. Having spread from the Basque Country across all of Spain in the latter 20th century, it's now a popular, well-established name, valued for its sweet sound and its double reading, both maritime and affectionate.
