What does the name Novalie mean?
Novalie is a spelling of Novalee, pronounced the same way, so it shares Novalee's meaning and origin.
Novalee is a modern American girls' name, recorded from 1962 and much more common in recent years. No dictionary we checked documents it. It looks like a blend of Nova, the astronomers' word for a new star, from Latin nova, new, as the American Heritage Dictionary notes, with the -lee ending of many recent names. We do not give the name a meaning beyond its parts.
How sure is this? Not documented. Undocumented modern blend.
Related names: Nova, Novah, Novaleigh.
