Meaning & History

This name can be used as 和 (wa, o, ka, yawa.ragu/eru, nago.mu, nago.yaka, a.eru, nodoka) meaning "harmony, peace" or 長閑 (nodoka) meaning "tranquil, quiet, calm, peaceful," made up of 長 (chou, naga.i, osa) meaning "long" and 閑 (kan) meaning "leasure." The word is probably a result of a shift from earlier nodoke (和気).

It can also be used to combine 和, 温 (on, atata.ka(i), atata.ma/eru, nuku, nodo) meaning "warm," 悠 (yuu, nodo) meaning "permanence, leisure" or 望 (bou, mou, nozo.mu, mochi, nodo) meaning "ambition, hope, desire" with 花 or 華 (ka, ke, hana), both meaning "flower," 香 (kou, kyou, ka, kao.ri/u) meaning "incense, smell, perfume" or 佳 (ka) meaning "beautiful, good, excellent​."

Fictional (female) bearers of this name include Nodoka Saotome (早乙女 のどか) from 'Ranma ½' and Nodoka Manabe (真鍋 和) from 'K-On!'.
