Meaning of Nuwanda

It was one of my favorite movies, "The Dead Poet's Society" starring Robin Williams, one character used to call himself.. Nuwanda... i dont know his real name and i am not going to google it ;) . I never was or am really good at remembering names of the people i meet once or twice or spend some months or years with. Same holds true for hollywood actors too i guess. Many of my friends are actually good at this or make an earnest effort to do so because it helps in the movie-gossip that so often comes up when friends are chatting. Its easy remembering the names of actresses for me i dont know why, and same goes for the faces.. i rarely forget a face!!! oh anyways, i am drifting off here.. So about the name.. after googling and clicking on a random link, here iswhat i found out..

QUESTION : If u have seen Dead poets society a character in the movie emphasizes his name as Nuwanda, being reckless and brave. I know that word comes from a certain poem or something like that but I dont know the actual meaning. Tell me if u know the meaning and also the origin of the word.
