Nova

Nova is a girl's name of Latin origin. It's derived from novus, meaning "new," making it the perfect way to celebrate your kiddo's start in life. Nova is also an astronomic term for a star that suddenly increases in brightness before slowly fading. It was first used as a name for girls in the 19th century and is especially popular in Scandinavian nations. With a name like Nova, you can celebrate your new arrival and show them how much they light up your life. Take it from The Bump user Amanda&EricB, who calls the name "edgy and fresh."
