Meaning & Origin
plural of Nardo
Nardos is a girl's baby name of Amharic origin from Ethiopia, derived from the aromatic plant nard or spikenard — an ancient perfume plant mentioned in the Bible and the Song of Solomon. In Ethiopia, it is a common feminine name associated with fragrance and beauty.
Spikenard was among the most precious and expensive spices of the ancient world, used to anoint both kings and the dying. Nardos thus carries an ancient, aromatic heritage — a name that has been sweet-smelling across three millennia and several continents.
