Name
The name Noisy comes from
Medieval Latin nucetum , meaning "
walnut grove", after the walnut trees (noyers) covering the territory of Noisy-le-Grand in ancient times.
The epithet "le-Grand" (Medieval Latin: Magnum), meaning "the Great", was added in the Middle Ages, probably to distinguish Noisy-le-Grand from the smaller settlement of Noisy-le-Sec, which was sometimes referred to as Nucenum Minus ("Noisy the Small").
