It’s a pretty name. It sounds similar to the word for “cloud”, in Spanish. Anyway, it has a rich, resonant sound, to me.

Nubia is a fictional character appearing in DC Comics publications and related media, commonly as an ally of Wonder Woman. Historically, she is DC Comics' first Black woman superhero. Introduced in 1973 as Wonder Woman's long-lost fraternal twin, Nubia has since been presented variously as DC Comics' continuities have shifted and evolved. At turns, she has been portrayed as both a parallel-universe version of Wonder Woman, and as an inheritor of the Wonder Woman mantle in a future timeline. Her Modern Era depiction is as a non-sibling Amazon contemporary of Wonder Woman, and as the successor to Wonder Woman's mother Hippolyta as queen of the Amazon nation of Themyscira. Created by Robert Kanigher and Don Heck, Nubia debuted in Wonder Woman #204 (January 1973) and appeared intermittently throughout Wonder Woman's Bronze Age adventures. After DC Comics rebooted its continuity in 1985 (a publication event known as the Crisis on Infinite Earths), Wonder Woman and her supporting characters were re-imagined. Though originally absent from this revised mythos, the character was reintroduced as "Nu'Bia" in 1999 by Doselle Young and Brian Denham in Wonder Woman (vol. 2) Annual #8.
In DC's post-Rebirth era, the character (whose name has reverted to its original spelling) developed a significantly expanded profile and presence in Wonder Woman lore, beginning with the assumption of the Wonder Woman mantle for DC's 2021 future-timeline publication event Future State. She has been heavily featured across DC's Infinite Frontier Wonder Woman publications, including the limited series Nubia & the Amazons (2021), Trial of the Amazons (2022) and Nubia: Queen of the Amazons (2022). The publisher also commissioned young adult graphic novels featuring Nubia as the central character, including Nubia: Real One (2021) and Diana & Nubia: Princesses of the Amazons (2022).
The distinction of DC's first Black woman superhero character is also sometimes accorded to the Teen Titan Bumblebee, who debuted in 1976, four years after Nubia's first appearance.

I know a Lady (in Brazil) who wore the name Nubia. I always thought it ugly for a woman. I had no idea where it came from. I am very surprised to read about it. It is still ugly to me but, at least I know it comes from our ancients.

Tacky and extremely ghetto. This sounds like something Azealia Banks would name her daughter.

Personally, I think this is a very pretty name. It puts me in mind of regal Egyptian pharaohs, and the vast quantities of education and intelligence which goes with such a title. I think it is a name which would age well.

It is not derived from the Latin word Nimbus which mean cloud, not gold. Nubia is said to be derived from the Egyptian Nub (gold), as the Egyptians obtained most of their gold there.
