Nona

As a girl's name, Nona is understood to mean "ninth". It had its heyday in the 1930s and has mostly fallen out of use since. Today, it is on the rarer side without being unusual in the registry. Few names stick around this long: it shows up across almost the entire twelve-decade span this registry covers.
