This unisex name, even though derived from the Latin word Silva, was first ever found to be used in the Portuguese and Brazilian communities as a surname.

The different variants of the name comprise De Silva, Da Silva, Silveria, and the like. The name has five letters and is usually pronounced as 'si-lh-vuh'. Even today, the name Silva is often used as a surname than the first name, but it sure makes for a nice nickname, especially for someone who has traveled through the woods or forests or is a wanderer.
