Nundy Vad efternamn betyder
perhaps a patronymic from a Scandinavian male personal name *Nundi becoming Middle English Nundy and Nunde. The variations in the surname forms between Nundy and Mundy Nunde and Munde suggest two possibilities. *Nundi may be a pet form of Old Scandinavian *Anundi a weakly declined variant of Anund(r) a name common in eastern Scandinavia and recorded once in England in a 12th-century Yorks charter (Fellows Jensen Scand. Personal Names p. 11) and of uncertain origin. The phonetic dissimilation of N- to M- may have been influenced by association with Old Scandinavian Mundi a pet form of personal names ending in -mund(i). Alternatively *Nundi could itself be an altered form of Mundi with initial m assimilated to the following n. See Mundy.
