Nomthandazo is from the South African Zulu / Xhosa nomthandazo — no- (mother of, with) + umthandazo (prayer) — mother of prayer. Nomthandazo is one of the South African Zulu + Xhosa feminine names — central to traditional Nguni naming heritage.
Nomthandazo does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Nomthandazo reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
