Do you know what an acronym is? Nocturnal is a word meaning:
Pronunciation: näk-'t&r-n&l
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French or Late Latin; Anglo-French nocturnel, from Late Latin nocturnalis, from Latin nocturnus of night, nocturnal, from noct-, nox night
1 : of, relating to, or occurring in the night
2 : active at night
- noc·tur·nal·ly /-n&l-E/ adverb
It is not an acronym...

An acronym is an abbreviation which can be pronounced as a word, especially if it actually is a word, and especially especially if the word is apropos to the organisation, device, concept, etc. in question.
Nocturnal means awake at night, i.e. for an animal - hunting and eating at night, for a human - working the nightshift.
Your question makes no sense.

An acronym is an abbreviation of several words, using the first letter (or several letters) of each of the words. There are no acronyms for a single word.
