No is a cross-lingual micro-name. In Japanese it may be written 乃, 野, or 能, read No and conveying senses like "of/from," "field/plain," or "ability/talent," with meaning set by the chosen kanji. In Korean, No (also Noh/Roh) is a well-known family name from the Sino-Korean clans 盧 and 魯, while as a given name it is rare; in the West, No sometimes serves as an ultra-minimal shortening of Noa/Noah, Noé/Noe, Noel/Noelle, Nola, or Nora.

As a Japanese given name, No tends to read feminine and modern, echoing courtly aesthetics where the particle no linked clan and personal names. Usage beyond Japan is very uncommon, yet the spare style appeals to contemporary namers. Variants and related forms include Nō/Nô, Noh, Noe, Noa, Noé, Noel/Noelle, and Nola. Depending on origin, meanings range from natural "field" imagery to talent or a simple, minimalist vibe.
