Origin of "nopon" from Xenoblade chronicles

I'm curious if "nopon" has any meaning. When I typed のぽん into Google Translate, it didn't come up with anything, and I haven't been able to find any information on the wikia page for the Nopon about where their name comes from. Is it just a made up name, or does it have some significance in Japan?

Also, I don't know why you would, but please don't spoil the series past episode 28 of chuggaaconroy's Let's Play. If the answer to this question is a significant spoiler, I'd rather not know (I haven't played the game, I'm only watching it.)

While both Xenoblade games are separate stories they're directly connected because of the actions of Klaus, and there's even evidence that there may be multiple Monados.
