St Neot (/ˈniːʊt/ NEE-uut) (Cornish: Loveni)[1] is a village and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The parish population at the 2011 census was 947.[2] It is between the towns of Bodmin and Liskeard.
The parish is named after the Saxon monk, Saint Neot (who also gives his name to St Neots in Cambridgeshire, to where his alleged bones were taken in the early Middle Ages), and means[3] "pleasant (or beautiful) pasture (or habitation)" in Hebrew. On the northern side the parish includes part of Bodmin Moor and hamlets in the parish include Draynes, Ley and Pantersbridge.

See also [affirming biblehub's above translation: a search of the Hebrew Bible by mechon-mamre.org, by inputting "נְאוֹת," shows it refers to a pleasant or productive "pasture" or sometimes a "habitation" (but often either word could make sense) http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0.htm] and 'beautiful' instead of 'pleasant' both in [2] & the Grafted in Fellowship link, above.
