Nonie

Nonie is an English pet form that developed as a diminutive of Nora or Nonie, itself a shortened form of names such as Honora or Norah, which derive from the Latin honor, meaning "honor, dignity." It has also been used independently as a given name, particularly in Ireland and Britain, where Nora and Honoria have long been popular. The name shares its roots with cognates Nora, Norah, Honoria, and Honora.
