History & Origin

Nube is the Spanish word for 'cloud', from the Latin nubes. Used as a given name it belongs with the nature word-names — Luna, Cielo, Mar — that Spanish-speaking families have long favoured. It has no separate saint's history or naming tradition, and we will not invent one: it is the word itself, given as a name, and it is lovely for that (said 'NOO-beh').

It appears only very rarely in U.S. records. Very rare, airy, and word-simple.

Did you know? Nube is simply Spanish for a cloud, from the Latin nubes — a nature word given as a name, and we note it as exactly that.
