Nonalea

A unique intertwining of Nona and Lea, the feminine name Nonalea will always have a fresh feel to it. Though it's unclear where this moniker first arose, some sources link it to Romansh, one of Switzerland's four national languages. Nonalea's first element, Nona, is a diminutive of countless names and has its own meanings, too, so it holds plenty of inspiring messages and symbols within it.

In Latin, the word nonus means "ninth," making Nonalea a fitting choice for a tiny tot born on the ninth of the month! From "vegetable field" in Japanese to "dove" in Assyrian, Nona's reach as a first name extends to all corners of the globe. It can also be a shortened form of the Native American title Winona or the Hebrew Anna, sharing their translations of "firstborn daughter," "favor," and "graciousness." Though you might be more familiar with its h spelling, Lea is equally beautiful with three letters. Its meanings, "weary" or "tired" in Hebrew and "cow" in Akkadian, might not initially seem befitting of your new arrival, but even the busiest kiddos need to rest sometimes!
