Nune/Noune
I have a girlfriend from Armenia whose name is pronounced NOO-nay. However, since Armenia has its own alphabet, she got to choose her how to spell it in Roman letters when she came to the USA. When she first arrived, she used Noune; now she prefers Nune. She's also tried Nunay.Does anyone have information on the name?Cait

The name is correctly pronounced Noo-Neh ("h" is silent) with an accent on the second syllable
It means "the one who praises", "the one who gives encomium".
