Origins of Noone:

Listed as Noon and Noone, this is an Anglo-Irish surname, but with different and specific origins. The first origin may be of old English and a pet name for a shining and happy person. It is from the word “non,” which means noon time, and so the golden time of day. The word was acquired from the Latin “nona” frequently mentioning the ninth hour, which was about three o’clock in the afternoon. The change in meaning from mid-afternoon to mid-day perhaps existed as a result of single meal times introduced later. The second origin of the surname could be Irish, and an advanced form of the Gaelic surname O’Nuadhain. It was from the Gaelic prefix O’, which means grandson or male offspring of, and the particular name “Nuadha.” The Sept claims offsprings from Niall of Nine Hostages in the 4th-century AD, and it was considered that they derive from division Sligo in the far west of the country. Originally, the oldest documentations appeared in that area in the poll of Ireland in 1659. Other old recordings contain those of Andrew Noone, given as being a student at Oxford University in the yeat 1575, and the naming of John, the son of John and Martha Noon, in March 1726, at St. Dunstan’s in the East, Stepney.
