Girl's name
Nóinín
“no-NEEN”
a pet form of Nóra — and also the Irish word for a daisy
The story behind the name
Woulfe gives it as a pet form of Nóra and lists Daisy among its anglicisations — because nóinín is the Irish for a daisy, so the flower and the name are the same word twice over.
Meanings follow Ó Corráin & Maguire's Irish Names and Woulfe; pronunciations give the commonest Irish-English form. Know this name better — a dialect pronunciation, a family tradition? Tell us. · All Irish names A–Z
