New or ninth
A rare derivative likely stemming from the Latin root 'novus', meaning new, or 'nonus', meaning ninth. It is often used as a modern elaboration of the name Nova or a variation of the Roman family name Novius. In some contexts, it is associated with the month of November or being the ninth-born child.
