The phrase literally means "Nameless Partnership" and comes from the fact that the partners (the shareholders) are not directly known. This is in contrast to the term for a private limited company, which is called Besloten Vennootschap, usually abbreviated as B.V. ("Secluded Partnership").
It's also the Belgique formula for Limited Liability.
