Noconah is Native American in Origin.

Rooted in Comanche, Noconah is widely considered an anglicized form of Nocona/Nokoni, the name of a major Comanche band. The band name has been glossed as “wanderers” or “middle people,” so the personal name is often interpreted as “wanderer” or “one from the middle group,” though exact translation varies among linguists. The spelling with final -h reflects older English transcription practices and appears in some 19th‑century records.

As a given name, Noconah is rare and largely North American. Its best‑known historical echo is Peta Nocona, a prominent Comanche leader, and the Texas town of Nocona that bears the family name; the glove brand Nokona also derives from the town. Variants include Nocona, Nokona, Nokonah, and Nokoni; related but etymologically separate is Nonconnah, a Chickasaw‑derived place name in Tennessee. Noconah is typically treated as gender‑neutral. Pronunciation commonly follows noh-KOH-nah.
