History & Origin

Noele is a spelling variant of Noelle, the French Christmas name. Through Noel and the Latin natalis it means 'Christmas' or 'born at Christmas.' It fits a long tradition of seasonal names given to December babies, and this particular spelling stayed rare beside the more usual Noelle and Noel.

Noele had its small peak around 1986, given to only about fourteen girls in its peak year. A girl named Noele then is around forty today, a Generation X name.

Did you know? Noele, like Noelle and Noel, comes from the Latin for the day of Christ's birth, which is why it has always been a favorite for babies born in December.
