Nevskaya

Nevskaya is a Russian-language term that can function as a feminine form of the adjective Nevsky, and as a proper name in its own right. It is derived from the Neva River, which flows through the city of Saint Petersburg, and from the historical area around that river. The masculine form is Nevsky, and the neuter form Nevskoye.

In toponymy, Nevskaya appears in the names of rural localities, streets, and other geographic features in Russia and some former Soviet states. As a place name, Nevskaya typically indicates a connection to the Neva region or heritage associated with the Neva River.

As a surname, Nevskaya is the feminine form of Nevsky and is used by women; Nevsky is the corresponding masculine surname. Surnames in this pattern are common in Russian and other Slavic naming conventions.
