Noel的词源

英文词源

noel: noel: see native
Noel (n.): late 14c., nowel "feast of Christmas," from Old French noel "the Christmas season," variant of nael, from Latin natalis (dies) "birth (day)," in Church Latin in reference to the birthday of Christ, from natus, past participle of nasci "be born" (Old Latin gnasci; see genus). The modern word in English, with the sense "a Christmas carol" (1811) probably is a separate borrowing from French. As a masc. proper name, from Old French, probably literally "of or born on Christmas."

来自古法语noel,圣诞节，来自拉丁语natalis,出生，词源同native,nativity.特指耶稣基督的降生。
