Nemo

Nemo is a Latin word meaning "nobody" or "no one," familiar from the pseudonym Odysseus gives the Cyclops in Homer's *Odyssey* and from Jules Verne's mysterious Captain Nemo in *Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea*.

The name suggests anonymity or deliberate concealment of identity.

In contemporary usage, Nemo is most widely recognized as the clownfish protagonist in the animated film *Finding Nemo*.
