Hi Suze,
It's a real name, but the author has taken some liberties with the nature of the original bearer.
SAINT Ninnoc (the name means "nun") was born in Wales in the early 400's, and later migrated to Britanny, where she founded and was abbess of the monastery of Lannenec.
She died in 467. Her feast day (usually date of death) is June 4.
