The name Novy is a nickname surname, formed from the Czech "novy," which means 'new'. The name was generally used for a "newcomer to a particular region" or "newly settled neighbor" or "a newcomer to the village." Ironically it was also used for a maker of new shoes (not for a repairer of shoes). Novak is the most popular Czech name; and Novotny is the third most common. As the name translates as "newman' some people have Anglicized their name accordingly. The feminine form of the name is Nováková.
The surname Novy was first found in Bohemia and Moravia.
