Neve is the Anglicised form of Niamh a irish feminine given-name which pronounced just like the Anglicised version of it. The name she gave herself, Neve, means 'Snow' in Portuguese or "radiant" in English/ Irish language. Because the Portuguese arrived in Japan as the first European traders in 1543, it is also possible that Setsuka has roots in Portugal.

In all of Setsuka’s incarnations, she has been depicted as wearing a kimono or a similar robe.
