Numerius Negidius

The abbreviation NN originally comes from Roman law . A basic principle was to do justice without regard to the person. The contending parties were therefore referred to and addressed with commonly used fictional names instead of their proper names. In the Roman form process , Numerius Negidius is the always used fictitious name for the defendant, which corresponds to the German term “der Defendant”. It is a play on words based on the legal position of the defendant based on a lawsuit for damages (from numerare 'count', 'pay' and negare 'deny [something]', 'refuse'), and means so much like 'the one who refuses to pay'.

In the court records, the fictitious names were often given in an abbreviated form. So from Numerius Negidius (Numerius negidius) the spelling N. N. (N. n.) Emerged .
