What is the meaning of the name Nona ?

The baby name Nona is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced NOH-nə (IPA: /ˈnoʊnə/).

Nona is English, Georgian, Italian, Latin in Origin.

Nona is a feminine name from Latin nona, "ninth," cognate with nonus. In Roman religion, Nona was one of the Parcae, the spinner who set the thread of life at birth, her name evoking the ninth month of pregnancy. The name was also borne by Saint Nonna, 4th‑century mother of Gregory of Nazianzus, which helped sustain modest use in the Christian world.

As a given name in English it enjoyed a quiet vogue from the late 19th to early 20th century, later becoming rare but never disappearing; notable bearers include singer Nona Hendryx and chess grandmaster Nona Gaprindashvili, reflecting its popularity in Georgia and parts of Eastern Europe. Variants and related forms include Nonna (Russian) and the diminutives Noni and Nonie. The core meaning centers on "ninth," with mythological overtones of birth, timing, and the beginnings of life.
