Noel is a gender-neutral name of French origin, getting its meaning from the french word for “Christmas.” While Noelle is the more common spelling for little girls, the day itself takes on the gender-neutral spelling. This could be the perfect title for a December baby, ready to bring cheer and joy to your family. Like candy canes, elves and stockings hung by the chimney with care, Noel will never go out of style. With the day itself referring to the birth of Christ, Noel will come into your home ready to begin their own adventure.
