Yeah, I thought so.
It means 'nameless' in Sanskrit. So either your parents had a great sense of humor, or perhaps they were fond of the philosophical school that regards all names of God as equally false, and that it is therefore preferable to not call Him by any name at all. In that case the meaning is 'The Nameless One (i.e. God)'.
