Etymology

The word 'noble' originated from the Latin word 'nobilis', meaning 'well-known, famous, renowned, noble'. In medieval times, nobility was associated with hereditary status and high social rank. Nobles held titles and privileges granted by monarchs, and were often seen as exemplars of virtue and honor. The concept of nobility has evolved over time, but the idea of being noble still carries connotations of dignity, integrity, and excellence.
