History
From French née, feminine of né, past participle of naître, to be born.
From French née (“(f)”) and né (“(m)”), past participle of naître, to be born. Mix of both gendered terms due to their homophony, resulting in a unisex term in English.
From Old English ne or nā (“no”). Cognate with Standard English no.
