The word Silva is of Latin origin. Its literal translation is "woods". It is a very popular Portuguese surname, especially in the Asian regions where there was previous Portuguese control. The word probably denotes people who come from forested regions. During the Roman Empire, around 219 B.C. this word was adopted by the Iberians. Thus this word originated during the ancient roman times. It is also a very popular girl's name. Its different variations include Silvana, Silvia and Sylvia.
