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.
