What is the meaning of the name Nano ?

The baby name Nano is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish: /ˈna.no/ (NA-no); English: /ˈnɑːnoʊ/ (NAH-noh); Japanese: /na.no/ (NA-no).

Nano is Spanish in Origin.

Nano is a multicultural diminutive that also functions as an independent given name. In Spanish and Italian it serves as a pet form for -ano names - Adriano, Luciano, Cristiano - and regionally for Fernando; in parts of Spain, nano meaning “kid” as slang has reinforced its warm, boyish feel, and numerous footballers use it professionally. In Japanese, Nano (written as 菜乃, 奈乃, 菜野 and other kanji) is a modern feminine name whose meaning varies by characters, commonly “greens” or “vegetables” plus “of/field.”

As an etymological echo, the scientific prefix nano- derives from Greek nânos “dwarf,” via Latin nanus, lending the sense “small,” though this is descriptive rather than a traditional name meaning. In Georgia, Nano appears as a familiar form of Nana. Usage is broadly unisex: chiefly masculine in Iberia and Italy, chiefly feminine in Japan. Related forms include Nando, Nani, Nino/Neno, and Japanese Nana, Nao, Naho.
