Norma

Latin feminine name

Norma is a feminine given name, popularized in the early twentieth century partly through Bellini's 1831 opera of that title.

It peaked in American usage around the 1930s and has since declined.

Famous bearers include Norma Jean Baker, better known as Marilyn Monroe. (Lowercase norma is a constellation.)
