I thought at first the name "Nura" was from Esperanto, meaning more or less "current" or "up-to-date", but nope! It comes from the name for certain Sardinian buildings from the Megalithic period, "Nuraghe":

"nura" does not mean "current" or "up-to-date", it means "mere", just FYI; you may be confusing it with "nuna"

It's also a Quenya word, meaning 'deep'.
