Nutta is Thai in Origin.

Nutta is a cross-cultural given name with distinct lineages. In Ashkenazi Jewish usage across Poland, Lithuania, and Belarus, it represents a Yiddish‑Polish diminutive and spelling variant of Nota/Note - ultimately from Hebrew Natan (Nosson), “he gave,” commonly read as “gift [of God].” Archival records from the late 19th to mid‑20th century show forms such as Nuta, Nutta, Nota, Notke, and Nute; the name there is typically masculine.

In Thailand, Nutta (often also romanized Nuttha) functions as a modern unisex short form or nickname clipped from longer Sanskrit–Pali–derived compounds - examples include Nutthaphon, Nutthida, and Nutthika. The precise sense depends on the compound, but elements may trace to roots like nu‑ “to praise/laud” or natha “protector,” yielding meanings along the lines of “praised, virtuous,” or “protected.” Variants and related nicknames include Nut, Nutt, Nuta, Nota, and Nuttha. Pronunciation is commonly NOO‑tah.
