Nonye is short for Chinonyerem, Chinonyelum, Nonyem or Nonyelum.
The first two mean God is with me or God be with me depending on how they are pronounced i.e tone and which syllable is stressed the most.
Nonyelum and Nonyem mean be with me, stay with me, keep me company etc as has been stated.
The “lum” suffix is mainly used by Anambra/ Enugu Igbo dialect speakers.
