From the final syllable of Latin domina (Lady).

Article

na f sg (elided n', masculine en)

  1. (Eastern) personal article used before feminine given names instead of the definite article la
    En Pau i na Maria arribaran demà.
    Pau and Maria will be arriving tomorrow.

Usage notes

  • While this article (and its masculine counterpart en) is standard in Balearic Catalan, in other Eastern Catalan dialects its use is waning, and the elided of the definite article, l', is used before names beginning with vowels. There is no plural personal article, so the plural definite article les is used in all dialects.
