Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin word 'nucha' (meaning the nape of the neck), which itself comes from Arabic 'nuḥāq' or 'nuḫā' (spinal marrow), combined with the English 'region' from Latin 'regio' (direction, boundary, district). The term has been used in anatomical nomenclature since the 19th century to precisely designate the posterior part of the neck.
