nunne

Nunne is a term that does not refer to a single, universally defined concept. Its meaning varies with historical or contextual usage, and in modern reference works it is not treated as a standalone entry. As such, nunne is best understood as a label with several possible senses rather than a fixed definition.

In historical English manuscripts and records, nunne often appears as an archaic spelling related to the word nun or to a nunnery. In this context it may denote a nun, a religious community, or something associated with monastic life. The spelling reflects orthographic practices of the period rather than a separate concept.

In onomastic and contemporary usage, nunne may occur as a surname variant or as a proper name in fictional or artistic works. In such contexts, the term has no fixed meaning beyond its function as a name or title within the work.
