Nuota

With a name like Nuota, your little one will know that it's always the right time to be kind and helpful to others. A feminine title, Nuota is a respelling of Nuotta, a moniker that is most often found in the Engadine Valley of Switzerland. The Engadine Valley is a Romansh-speaking area, so Nuota and Nuotta likely have their roots in this language. Perhaps they're diminutives of Annuotta, a Romansh variant of Anna, sharing its Hebrew translations of "favor" and "graciousness." During their first weeks and months, the late hours might just be a busy time for you and your tiny tot! It's fitting, then, that Nuota is considered a feminine variant of Nuot, a name that derives from the Romansh word not, meaning "night." From their sleepy smiles to their adorable yawns, sweet Nuota will bring the joy to late-night wake-up calls.
