Don't know where it came from, but here in South Africa it's worth avoiding: means "Little Mistress" or "Little Madam", and was what the servants used to call the daughter of the house! Some of whom continued to use it as a nickname throughout their lifetimes.

Nonnie

Hi Raymond,

---

I found some different meanings:

---

1) East Frisian variant of the pet name "Nonna" which is a form of Nanda (short for Ferdinanda!)

---

2) Swedish variant of the pet name "Nonna" (short for Yvonne or Eleonora)

---

3) Variant of the Breton name "Nonn" (sorry, but I don't know the meaning...)

---

4) Pet form of the Latin name "Nona"

---

I'm sure that there are much more possibilities as Nonnie is a typical pet name, and it's used for many names including "no" or "on".

Probably derived from either Nona or Nonie. Click on the links.
