Nouy

Nouy is a proper noun that can refer to either a French surname or toponymic place names in Francophone regions. The form is relatively uncommon and is most frequently encountered in France and among communities with French heritage.

As a surname, Nouy is primarily recorded in France, with bearers also found in other French-speaking countries due to migration and diaspora.

As a place name, Nouy designates several minor localities in France. Toponymic use typically reflects historical geographic features or administrative designations associated with a settlement.

Etymology: The precise origin of the name Nouy is not definitively documented. It is considered to be of toponymic origin, with potential links to older French terms describing landscape or settlement.

In contemporary use, Nouy appears chiefly in personal names and, less commonly, in branding or literary contexts. Because it is relatively uncommon, detailed historical information about the name is often limited to regional registries and gazetteers.
