Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno je slovenskou podobou starogréckeho mena Ναυσικάα (Nausikáa), známeho z Homérovej Odysey. Jeho prvá časť súvisí so slovom ναῦς (naûs – „loď“), druhá sa tradične spája so slovesom καίω (kaíō – „páliť, horieť“). Meno sa preto vykladá ako „tá, ktorá páli lode“, pričom iné populárne významové interpretácie nie sú spoľahlivo doložené.
