Noviomagus is the name of a number of settlements found across the Western Roman Empire. The name is believed to be a Latinization of a Brittonic placename, Novio meaning "New" and -magos, meaning "Field" or "Market" (cf. Welsh maes 'field', Old Irish mag 'plain'), in other words a clearing in woodland.Cunliffe, Barry, 1973, The Regni, Duckworth (Peoples of Roman Britain series), p. 49
