Ancient root and name story

Origin: Latin word-name. Meaning: Nova comes from Latin novus, meaning "new," with nova being the feminine form. It was first used as a given name in the 19th century.

There is a related but separate word-history layer in astronomy: the noun nova comes from nova stella, "new star." That is a connection in word history rather than evidence of an ancient personal name, so it is best treated as a secondary cue.

Nova has a bright, celestial sound that fits its meaning of newness. Its cosmic association and clean modern style make it a popular choice for parents today.
