[Facts] Re: The name Novian
in reply to a message by Corey Douglas
I found that it is a surname. Possibly German ancestry (judging by the first names of the family).
Also, it is the English adjective used to describe people from Porto Novo, India. Novo being Portuguese for "new."
It reminds me of Star Wars. :) http://thesithcouncil.wikia.com/wiki/Ni'novian_Republic

thanks for the info. Do you like the name for a boy, or do you the the child would be made fun of?
I know this thread is extremely old. But I was browsing around because someone just asked me what my name meant, and I've never quite had a good explanation. My name, by the way, is in fact Novian. I can tell you from experience that I have loved my name and never once was made fun of for it. At one time, I did have a school project many years ago where we were asked to explain the origin of our names. I was able to find the origin to come from the European area as a more common surname. If it does originate from Germany more specifically, I don't know. The meaning was explained as a "tree god" named Novian. Although, this was many years ago and I have not been able to back it up since. I believe the name has brought me a very unique quality that makes quite a few people remember me more easily. I hope your did grace your child with the name because I know it'll be one that he will enjoy for a lifetime.
Hello, I know it’s been a couple years as well but my son was born April of 2021 & I named him Novian. I don’t remember how I found it but the moment I saw it, I knew I loved it. The name fits my son perfectly & it’s truly beautiful and to me it sounds royal. I wanted my son to have an Elegant name and this one is perfect.
I like Nicholas.
