History & Origin
Zanova is a modern name echoing Zenobia — from Greek, 'the life/force of Zeus' (the bold 3rd-century queen Zenobia of Palmyra) — and Nova, from Latin, 'new' (a star that flares bright; routes layered, which we flag). A lyrical, modern name; the sound carries it (said 'zə-NOH-vah'; nickname Nova).
It registers thinly in records. Rare, the-life-of-Zeus-or-new in echo, and lyrical.
