"“Noel” is Latin word which means dies natalis which means the day of birth.
So, it is being celebrated as the birthday of Jesus which is the Christmas Eve. But, the pronunciation practically changed over time.
The birth of Jesus is called natalis in the book. The variation occurred over the old French kind as nael, which references to the Christmas season and later into Middle English accent as nowel.
