Nona

Thread-spinning Roman deity

Nona is a given name, typically feminine, often used as a nickname or derived from the Latin word for ninth.

It also functions as an informal term for grandmother in some families and cultures, similar to nana or nonna: Nona always made the best Sunday dinners. (Lowercase nona may refer to the Roman goddess of pregnancy who presided over the ninth month.)
