The Niven family crest depicts a branch Of Palm Vert, above the Latin motto: "Vivis Sperandum", which translates as '' Where there is life there is hope. ''

The Strathclyde-Briton people of ancient Scotland were the first to use the name, Nevis. The Nevis family lived in Ayrshire. The surname Nevis was also regarded as derived from the Gaelic patronymic Mac Naoimhin, which is derived from the word "Naomh," meaning "little saint." The name was a favorite personal name in Galloway and Ayrshire.
