Noxolo

Puts the feminine name-prefix no-, shared by Xhosa and Ndebele girls' names, in front of uxolo, "peace": literally "of peace".

Meaning and origin

Noxolo combines the same no- prefix used across many Nguni girls' names with uxolo, the word for peace, so that the name itself works as a small blessing.
