Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *nu Proto-Indo-European *néwos Proto-Italic *nowos Latin novusder. English nova Feminine nominative singular of Latin novus (“new”). The feminine is used since stella (“star”) is feminine; thus nova is a shortening of new star (“nova stella”), first used in this sense in 1573 by Tycho Brahe.
