Etymology

• From Spanish nevada, "snow-covered."

Pronunciation

Typically pronounced /nɨˈvæːdə/ by residents, non-residents might use either /nɨˈvæːdə/ (common in the western US) or /nəˈvɑ.də/ (common in the eastern US). Residents may regard outsiders using the latter pronunciation as uninformed about the state, but in actuality are using a pronunciation more distant from the original Spanish pronunciation, [neˈβaða].

• IPA: /nəˈvɑ.də/
