Meaning & History

Short form of various names. It probably developed from the Scandinavian diminutives Nanna 1 and Nina 1. (The former has been used as a diminutive of such names as Anna, Johanna, Amanda and Marianne, but coincides with an Old Norse name which may be derived from nėnna "to dare, to have an inclination towards, to travel".)
