National Nova Day 2023: Date, History, Facts, Activities

National Nova Day is annually observed on May 8. Nova is a predominantly feminine name, with approximately 92% of bearers being female. The day is set aside to honour everyone with the name Nova. This brief and charming name derives from the Latin ‘novus’, which means ‘new.’ It also refers to the birth of a star, so you could say that all the Novas in the universe illuminate the world. In 2021, 5,516 infants were given the name, ranking it 32nd among the most popular newborn girl names in the United States. Other Nova variants include ‘Novah’ and ‘Novalee.’

The background of National Nova Day

Nova has been in use since the 19th century. It has become more of a feminine name than an androgynous one over time. The name is predominantly used by Americans, but Europeans have begun to utilise it as well. 1.31 individuals per 100,000 Americans bear the name Nova. It is also among the top 100 names in Sweden and the Netherlands, among the top 200 names in Norway, and its usage in the United Kingdom has recently increased.

The Social Security Administration (S.S.A.) estimates that 5,961 individuals were given the name Nova in the United States during the past century. 69% of the time, it is a first name, and 92% of individuals with the name Nova are female. Whites account for 75.6% of those who share the name, followed by Blacks at 13.7%, Hispanics at 6.6%, Asians or Pacific Islanders at 1.9%, individuals of mixed ethnicity at 1.6%, and American Indians or Alaska Natives at 0.6%.

Texas is home to the most Novas, approximately 648 individuals, while Maine is the state where you are most likely to meet a Nova, as 3.83 persons per 100,000 Maine residents have the name. As the popularity of the name continues to rise, it is reasonable to assume that there will be many more Novas in the future years.
