HelpRe: Nushi
in reply to a message by cassilda in carcosa
Huh! That is quite the mystery!
I did some digging too, and found a site that claims Nushi is the second most common name in the world, and it says that it is used in China. If true, that would explain why it's such a surprise - I don't know anyone from China, so I have no idea what names are popular there.
Curiously enough, the site does not seem to know which gender Nushi should be, and also says it "could be a surname". If I look up what the most common names are in China, Nushi is suddenly nowhere to be found.
I am beginning to suspect that something was perhaps lost in translation by programs gathering up info.... After more googling, I discovered that "Nushi" might be a phonetic translation of a Mandarin word for a title that means "Miss, Ms, lady" So maybe that's what's really going on. I easily believe that there are at least 55 million Ms. Somethings in China.
If that's the case, I think Nushi is pretty cute. I'd use it as a first name. It could be really cute for a pet!
(Actually this reminds me of the time I thought I discovered a really interesting obscure name in my genealogy but it turned out to be the word "Unknown" in Dutch. LOL)
