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.

You're welcome. I wouldn't say I like the name, but it's not bad. I'd rather see a little boy named Novian than Jayden or Brayden or Aiden. If you want more people's opinions, you could ask over on the opinions board.
