History & Origin
Knova is a stylized K-spelling of Nova (the K is silent) — from Latin nova, 'new' (a nova is a star that suddenly bursts into brightness). A bold, celestial, modern word-name; the silent-K styling personalizes it (we note the unconventional spelling; said 'NOH-vah').
It registers thinly beside Nova. Rare, new-and-a-new-star at the root, and celestial.
