Núria Pau
Núria () is a Catalan girls' name taken from the Virgin of Núria, a Marian shrine located in the eponymous valley, the Vall de Núria. The name also occurs in Spanish without the accent as Nuria, given that the Spanish name of the valley is ''el valle de Nuria''. The placename, Núria, is believed to be of Basque origin according to Joan Coromines, and related to the word ''Norra'', a variant of Andorra, and meaning "place between valleys." The name Nuria ( ar, نوريّة) has also been linked to the Arabic unisex name Nur meaning light. The name, originally Mare de Déu de Núria, derives from Marian devotion to the Virgin of Nuria (Catalan ''Mare de Déu de Núria'').
