Nõva is a village in Lääne-Nigula Parish Lääne County, on the northwestern coast of Estonia. It was the administrative centre of Nõva Parish. Nõva had a population of 136 as of 2010.[1][2]
Nõva was first mentioned in 1402 as Neyve; the name is believed to originate from the same Finno-Ugric root which has given a name to Neva River.[1]
Nõva is home to wooden St. Olaf's church, which was built somewhere in the 18th century. Educator and publisher Friedrich Brandt (1830–1890) served as a sacristan in Nõva in the 1870s.[1]
Swedish politician Ilmar Reepalu was born in Nõva in 1943.
