I’m sure there are other, better translations of Noiré, but it’s literally “Blacked” in French and that’s hilarious to my juvenile brain.

Isn't it just Black?

Edit - Nothing like getting a down vote for just asking a question /s

Noire is the feminine form of noir, which is black.

Adding the accent aigu to the final e transforms vowels to the past participle form, hence blacked.

Noiré translates to black.
