Nevez means "new" in Breton. The name is thought to have arisen when Trégunc was split in two in 1078, creating a new parish.
Inhabitants of Névez are called Néveziens. Névez has become a popular tourist destination in recent years, with the population in summer going 2700 to upwards of 20 000 in summer.
Historically, the inhabitants of Névez have heavily relied on fishing and agriculture. Today, Névez is among the 10 most expensive communes to buy property in Brittany and relies mainly on the tourism industry.
