Etymology

[edit]

From Old Irish námae, from Proto-Celtic *nāmants, traditionally said to be from Proto-Indo-European *ne (not) + *h₂em- (love) (compare Latin amō), but as that verb root is not otherwise attested in Celtic, this may be a folk etymology.[1]

Noun

[edit]

náma m (genitive námat, plural námait)
