What is the meaning of the name Noli ?

The baby name Noli is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced NOH-lee (English: /ˈnoʊ.li/),NO-lee (Filipino/Albanian: /ˈnoli/).

Noli is Albanian, Filipino, Italian, Latin in Origin.

Noli is a modern, unisex given name with several roots. In Latin, noli is the negative imperative “be unwilling, do not,” remembered from the Gospel phrase noli me tangere (“touch me not”), a source of literary and artistic resonance. As an Italian toponym, Noli names a Ligurian coastal town and yields the surname Noli, occasionally adopted as a first name. In the Philippines, Noli became a familiar male name through José Rizal’s novel Noli Me Tángere and its cultural impact.

In English use, Noli also functions as a pet form of Magnolia or Nola. Meanings therefore vary: “magnolia (flower)” when short for Magnolia; a place-derived, maritime association from the Italian town; or a symbolic “touch me not” from the Latin phrase. Variants and spellings include Nolie, Noly, and Nolia; pronunciation is typically NOH-lee.
