One of the earliest recorded instances of the NOTEBOOM surname dates back to the 14th century in Amsterdam. A merchant named Gerrit NOTEBOOM is mentioned in a ledger from the city's merchant guild in 1387. This suggests the name was established in the region by that time.

In the 16th century, records show a Pieter NOTEBOOM from Utrecht who was a renowned painter and engraver, born around 1535. His works were commissioned by various churches and noble families across the Netherlands.

During the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century, a notable figure was Jan NOTEBOOM, a wealthy shipbuilder and trader from Delft. He was born in 1612 and his vessels were involved in the thriving Dutch East India Company trade routes.

Later, in the 18th century, a Cornelis NOTEBOOM from Leiden gained recognition as a scholar and linguist, publishing works on ancient Greek and Latin texts between 1725-1782.

Another prominent individual was Willem NOTEBOOM, a military officer who served in the Dutch East Indies during the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th century, born in 1778 in Rotterdam.
