Nea

Nea is a Scandinavian and Finnish feminine name that arose as a short form of names ending in the syllable -nea, such as Linnea or Dorothea, and has since come to be used as an independent given name. It is particularly popular in Finland and Sweden, where diminutive pet forms of longer names frequently gain standalone status. The name shares its roots with various classical forms, connecting it indirectly to Greek and Latin naming traditions through its source names.
