  2. German (also Nöbel): from a short form of a Germanic personal name composed with not ‘distress’, ‘force’.
  3. German (also Nöbel): in some cases a habitational name from a place so named near Danzig (Polish Gdansk) and (Nöbel) from Nöbeln in Saxony.
  4. Jewish (Ashkenazic): ornamental name from German nobel ‘noble’.
