ArchivesRe: Could you please explain
in reply to a message by Nana
Two possible etymologies come to mind.
1) Nana in cute hellenic name meaning "extremely small","dwarfish", "diminutive", "smurfy", etc. You may have heard of related words sunch as nanosecond, nanotechnology etc.
2) The mysterious evil goddess Nanaea, who has been identified, inter alia, with Isis, Aphrodite, the Goddess Kali, etc. Her modern-day namesake is amongst our very ranks.
