Namo

Namo is a term that appears in several languages and contexts. In South Asian languages, 'Namo' functions as a form of salutation or homage and is often used as a prefix in devotional phrases. In Buddhist and Jain practice, chants begin with 'Namo' as a sign of respect, for example 'Namo Tassa Bhagavato' (Homage to the Blessed One) in Pali, or similar formulations in Sanskrit and other languages. The word is commonly transliterated in various scripts as namo, namah, or namo.

As a proper name, Namo is used as a given name or surname in some communities, though it is not associated with a single ethnicity or country. In onomastic contexts, it can appear independently or as part of compound names.

In geography, Namo is the name of several small places or features in different countries. These places are typically rural and have local significance rather than broad recognition.

In modern usage, Namo occasionally appears as a brand name for companies or products, or as the name of organizations. When encountered, the meaning is determined by the context, such as a personal name, a devotional phrase, or a corporate brand.
