Sunniva means sun-gift, and is the name of a beloved Norwegian saint. It carries warmth, light and grace.
It reads bright and blessed, a gift of sunlight.
Sunniva does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Sunniva reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
