nobody
Person without importance
Nobody means no person at all: Nobody answered the door.
As a noun, a nobody is an insignificant or unimportant person: He was a nobody before the scandal made him famous.
The word carries different weight depending on context—factual in Nobody was home but dismissive in You're a nobody.
