Nova means new, not "no go", unless you are actively trying to make a joke and read "no" and "va" as separate words.

I'm pretty sure "nuevo/a" is "new" in Spanish, not "nova."

Nova means "new" in portuguese... maybe also in old spanish (or latin)?

If you are reading it, yes. If you say it out loud, it sounds like “no va”.

This is correct. It wouldn't be read as "no go" any more than you wouldn't buy a "notable" furniture set because it had no table.

Nova means new in Portuguese. It's not a word in Spanish I think, which is why Spanish speakers would automatically split it into "no va".
