Neea

Neea is a Finnish feminine given name, most likely a variant or diminutive form of Cornelia, itself derived from the Latin family name Cornelius, which is connected to the Latin word cornu, meaning horn. The name has been in use in Finland as an independent given name and reflects the Finnish tradition of adapting classical European names into locally distinct forms. Cornelia and the related masculine name Cornelius have a long history in the Roman world, most famously associated with Cornelia, the mother of the Gracchi brothers. Variant forms include Nea, Kornelia, and Cornelia.
