Meaning & History

Recorded in 1350 in Silesia and in the Rhineland region of what is today Germany, this name is basically a Latinization of the German word niemand "nobody".

During the Middle Ages it was common practice to give orphans, especially orphaned infants, the name NEMO as either their given name or a byname, signifying that they "belonged to nobody".
Nymandus could thus be considered a cognate of Nemo.
