Noll is a boy's name of English origin and a medieval diminutive of Oliver. Forged from the Latin oliva, meaning "olive tree," Noll could be synonymous with peace and friendship. Noll also holds strong as a fierce protector. Tracing Oliver back to the Visogothic name Alvarus, Noll has the meaning "all aware" or “all guard.” Meanwhile, Noll’s Old Norse roots connect baby to generations past, signifying “ancestor’s descendant,” “ancestor’s legacy,” or “ancestor’s inheritance.” Noll is open to capturing every unique element of your little one and the beauty within each one.
