A "νονό" (pronounced "nonó") is a Greek term for a godparent, an important figure in the Christian tradition. The role of a nonó is to support the spiritual upbringing of a child during a baptism, which is a significant religious ceremony. The nonó is often chosen by the child's parents and is expected to guide the child in their faith and moral development throughout their life. In Greek culture, the relationship between a nonó and their godchild is considered special and enduring. The nonó often plays a significant role in family events and celebrations, such as birthdays and name days. This bond is not only spiritual but also social, as the nonó may provide emotional and practical support to the family, reinforcing the importance of community in Greek life.
