NUNN

NUNN. An old A-Sax. personal name. One Nun was a kinsman of lua, king of the West Saxons — Nun, Ince in'opinciwus. See Hon. Hist. Brit. 326, &c., &c. Anno 710. " Ine and Nun, his kinsman, fought against Gerent, king of the AVelsh." Saxon Chronicle. But the surname may have originated from a lapse of a vowess, for we find in the H.R. not only one Alice la Nonne, but also " Robertus Alius ejus."
