Nor 2

Nor 2 is a Limburgish short form of Norbaer, which itself is a Limburgish variant of Norbert, with spelling influenced by the French pronunciation of Norbert. The name ultimately derives from the Old German elements nord meaning "north" and beraht meaning "bright", thus signifying "bright north".

Norbert is known historically from Saint Norbert of Xanten (c. 1080–1134), a German bishop who founded the Premonstratensian order of canons regular. The name became popular in Germanic and Romance languages, giving rise to many local forms such as the Limburgish Norbaer. The “2” suffix in "Nor 2" likely distinguishes a regional or familial variant of the diminutive.
