The surname JEANNOEL is of French origin, emerging in the late medieval period around the 13th century. It is believed to have originated in the northern regions of France, particularly in the areas surrounding Paris and Normandy. The name is derived from the Old French words "jeun" meaning "young" and "noel" meaning "Christmas," suggesting a possible connection to a person born around the Christmas season.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname JEANNOEL can be found in the historical records of the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris, dating back to the late 13th century. The name appears in a manuscript mentioning a certain "Jean Jeannoel," a monk who resided at the abbey during that time.

In the 14th century, the surname JEANNOEL gained prominence in the region of Normandy, where it was associated with several notable individuals. Notable among them was Guillaume JEANNOEL, a merchant and landowner who lived in the town of Rouen around 1350.

In the 16th century, the JEANNOEL surname gained further recognition with the birth of Pierre JEANNOEL (1520-1587), a renowned French poet and playwright.
