Etymology: Derived from Japanese elements 'Noru' (のる), often associated with 'to ride' or 'to ascend', but in this context linked to 'norinai' (rules) or 'makoto' (truth), combined with 'o' (夫, man), forming a compound meaning 'righteous man'. The name is typically written with kanji such as 法夫 (law man), 教夫 (teaching man), or 紀男 (chronicle male), depending on family tradition.
