Noelle, a popular name for babies born during the holidays, comes from the French name Noël, meaning "Christmas." Today, most parents use the Anglicized form Noelle. It first appeared on the Social Security Administratin's top 1,000 in 1964, but didn't crack the top-250 until 2014 and has come close to cracking the top-200 in recent years. It's also a popular middle name, evidenced by "Counting On" star Jeremiah Duggar's daughter Brynley Noelle, born in 2023, and "The Bachelor" alum Elizabeth Sandoz Presta's daughter Jovie Noelle, born in 2020.
