Girl
Reva
As a girl's name, Reva traces back to Hebrew, where it is understood to mean "Hebrew, rain". It peaked back in the 1920s and has been gradually easing since. In the current registry, it is uncommon enough to feel personal. It has appeared in U.S. birth records in nearly every decade since 1900, a genuinely long run.
