Nula
Nula Origin and Meaning
Nula is a feminine name with Celtic origins, primarily found in Ireland and Scotland. It's a variant of Fionnuala (sometimes spelled Finola), which means 'fair shoulder' or 'white shoulder' in Gaelic. The name appears in Irish mythology—Fionnuala was one of the Children of Lir who were transformed into swans. Nula offers a simplified, more accessible version of the traditional name while maintaining its Celtic heritage. The name has a gentle, flowing quality with its soft consonants and open vowel sounds. While not widely used in English-speaking countries outside of Ireland and Scotland, Nula appeals to parents seeking a name with authentic Celtic roots that's also brief and easy to pronounce. Its relative rarity makes it a distinctive choice with authentic cultural connections.
