Noël m
French: from Old French noel, nael Christmas, from Latin natālis diēs (Domini) birthday (of the Lord). The meaning is still relatively transparent, partly because the term occurs as a synonym for ‘Christmas’ in the refrain of well-known carols. The name is often given to children born at Christmas time. It is also used in the English-speaking world, normally without the diaeresis, Noel.
Feminine forms: Noëlle, Noelle.
