Noll Origin and Meaning

The name Noll is a boy's name.

Noll is a masculine name with Germanic origins, functioning as both a surname and given name. It likely derives from Middle High German 'nol' meaning 'hill top' or 'peak,' suggesting elevated status or prominence. In some contexts, it may be a shortened form of Arnold or similar Germanic names. Alternatively, it could relate to the German word 'null' meaning 'zero,' though this connection is less common for given names. Noll has remained quite rare as a first name in English-speaking countries while being more established as a family name. The name's brevity gives it a clean, modern feel despite its traditional roots. Its straightforward pronunciation and distinctive sound make it accessible while still uncommon, appealing to parents seeking short, strong names with European heritage.
