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.

With the day itself referring to the birth of Christ, Noel will come into your home ready to begin their own adventure.
