Noel

Associated with Christmas.

Noel is a given name that’s widely recognized and most often associated with Christmas. It’s used in multiple languages, and the seasonal association is usually the first thing people think of when they hear it. Etymologically, Noel is connected to French Noël, a word associated with Christmas. In writing, the French spelling often includes the diaeresis (Noël), while English-language usage commonly drops it (Noel) without changing the basic identity of the name. A common pronunciation guide is no-EL (two syllables). A practical tip is to clarify whether you prefer the French-accented spelling Noël in formal documents, especially if accents are part of your official name.

Etymology: From French Noël, a word associated with Christmas; spelling without the diaeresis is common in English-language contexts.
