Noone

Noone is a proper noun that can function as a surname and, less commonly, as a given name. It is encountered in English-speaking regions and is associated with Irish heritage in many cases, where it represents one of several anglicized forms of traditional Gaelic names. The spelling Noone appears in genealogical records and in modern population lists, and it is found among families in Ireland as well as in countries with significant Irish diaspora, such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

As a surname, Noone has been borne by individuals across a range of occupations, including sports, politics, and the arts. Because the name is relatively uncommon, public recognition tends to be limited to specific individuals, and historical records may show variant spellings or related forms in different regions and time periods.

In fiction and media, Noone has occasionally been used as the surname for fictional characters, reflecting its Irish or Anglo-Irish cultural associations. The term Noone is also occasionally confused with the standard English phrase no one, which denotes the absence of any person.
