Meaning and background
The story behind Nunu
Nunu is recorded by the Galician language academy as a Basque equivalent of Nuno, an Iberian personal name whose deeper history is itself uncertain. That gives at least one documented naming connection, although the same spelling might have other uses in other languages. It would be misleading to turn a possible link into an absolute translation.
