Who would you name as a noble person?

Answer 1

Mahatma Gandhi,
Any person who works for the betterment of others selflessly is a noble person such as late Mr King of Atlanta

Answer 2

Any wise person.

Nobility means knowledge (as in knowbility)

A noble person is therefore not someone who should be respected because he was invested as such by a king.

A noble person is a person that knows, and for having such knowledge, which is recognized by anyone, he is distinguished for being so by a high authority, like a king.

Wisdom, we know, is not something that can be inherited.

And that's why the meaning of this word has lost its original sense.

Answer 3

What is Noble?

"At the risk of displeasing innocent ears, I submit that egoism belongs to the essence of a noble soul, I mean the unalterable belief that to a being such as “we,” other beings must naturally be in subjection, and have to sacrifice themselves."
[Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, section 265.]

As an example, I would name Edward de Vere.

George Washington
