Where this word comes from

From Proto-Italic *nām, a feminine accusative singular. There are multiple proposals for the root: *Possibly from a distal deictic Proto-Indo-European *h₂en-os (“that”) (see *h₂en), which may also be the source of the particle an. *Alternatively, from a distal deictic of the form Proto-Indo-European *h₁enos (“that”). *Alternatively, from an inflected variant of a particle *ne (“like”). Compare enim, nē (“truly, indeed”), Ancient Greek νή (nḗ), possibly -ne.
