Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Norma je literárne ženské meno, ktoré rozšírila opera Norma Vincenza Belliniho z roku 1831 na libreto Feliceho Romaniho, vychádzajúce z rovnomennej tragédie Alexandra Soumeta. Jeho presný pôvod nie je istý. Najčastejšie sa spája s latinským substantívom norma vo význame uholník, pravidlo, meradlo či vzor; alternatívne sa pokladá za ženskú podobu germánskeho mena Norman s významom človek zo severu.
