Meaning and background
The story behind Lluvia
Lluvia is a modern Spanish name whose connection with rain is explicit in Behind the Name’s main reference. The entry also supplies a Spanish pronunciation, useful because English readers may approach the initial double l differently. A rainy adoption day, a weather interest or a family language connection can make the choice personal. Here the rain explanation is supported as a name meaning, rather than inferred from a similar looking word.
