Meaning and background
The story behind Novel
Novel is both an adjective for something fresh or unusual and the familiar English word for a long work of fiction. Its route into English is linked to French and Italian vocabulary for newness and stories. The literary association is particularly clear if the name appeals to a reader. These are meanings of the English word, not evidence of an inherited forename.
