Nono is a cross-cultural given name and nickname. In Japanese (written のの), it is typically feminine and the meaning depends on the kanji: a popular choice is 野々 “fields,” while 乃々 employs classical particles for a soft, elegant tone; alternative pairings can suggest ideas like “gentle” or “hope.” In Romance languages, Nono functions as an affectionate short form for names beginning with No‑, including French Noé/Noël/Noémie, Spanish Noa/Noemí/Noelia, and Portuguese/Spanish Nonato, from Latin Nonnatus “not born,” epithet of Saint Raymond Nonnatus.

As an independent given name, Nono appears in late‑20th‑century Japanese records and, more sporadically, in global registries where nicknames become legal names. Usage is feminine in Japan and largely unisex elsewhere. Related diminutives and variants include Noni, Nona, and Portuguese Nonô; Japanese variants vary by kanji. Note Italian nono “ninth” and nonno “grandfather” are unrelated.
