Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Noble is a boy's and girl's baby name of Old French origin, from the Latin nobilis, meaning 'well-known, distinguished, of high birth' — a name that is simultaneously a virtue, a title, and an aspiration.
Noble fits squarely in the tradition of virtue names that American parents have embraced across different eras — from the Puritans' Faith and Grace to today's Valor and True. It carries genuine weight without being heavy-handed, and the name's elegant simplicity lets its meaning do all the work.
