From Character Sketches of Romance, Fiction and the Drama by The Rev. E. Cobham Brewer, LL.D.

Nineve

Nineve, the Lady of the Lake, in Arthurian romance.

Then the Lady of the Lake, that was always friendly unto King Arthur, understood by her subtle craft that he was like to have been destroyed; and so the Lady of the Lake, that hight Nineve, came into the forest to seek Sir Launcelot du Lake. Le Morte d'Arthur By Sir Thomas Malory.

This name occurs three times in the Morte d’Arthur—once as “Nimue,” once as “Nineve,” and once as “Ninive.” Probably “Nimue” is a clerical error.
