English and Scottish: from Middle English none, Middle Dutch noene ‘noon’, the time of brightest sunshine, hence perhaps a nickname for a bright and cheerful person or for someone born at that time of day.

The change in meaning of the vocabulary word from mid afternoon to midday, probably occurred as a result of monastic meal times being brought forward.
