What you mean a noble thing? or someone who has a noble title? A person who has a noble title is called an aristocrat. There family may have received this title years ago through a royal letter patent granting them the title.

The Nobel Prizes are prizes instituted by the will of Alfred Nobel, awarded to people (and, in the case of the Peace Prize, to organizations) who/which have completed outstanding research, invented ground-breaking techniques or equipment or made an outstanding contribution to society in physics, chemistry, literature, peace and medicine or physiology. They are widely regarded as the supreme commendation in their respective subject areas. Recipients of the award are known as Nobel Laureates.
As of November 2005, a total of 776 Nobel Prizes have been awarded, 758 to individuals and 18 to organizations.[1] A few Prize winners have declined the award. There are years in which one or more Prizes are not awarded; during World War II, for instance, no Prizes were awarded in any category between 1940 and 1942. Each Prize stipulates, however, that it must be awarded at least once every five years.
Prizes cannot be revoked. Since 1974, no award may be made posthumously, i.e. nominees must be alive at the time of their nomination.
Nobel's will
Alfred Nobel.

Alfred Nobel.
The Prizes were instituted by the final will of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist, industrialist, and the inventor of dynamite. Alfred Nobel wrote several wills during his lifetime. The last one was written on November 27, 1895—a little over a year before he died. He signed it at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris on November 27, 1895. Nobel's work had directly involved the creation of explosives, and he became increasingly uneasy with the military usage of his inventions. It is said that this was motivated in part by his reading of a premature obituary of himself, published in error by a French newspaper on the occasion of the death of Nobel's brother Ludvig, and which condemned Alfred as a "merchant of death." So in his will, Alfred left 94% of his worth to the establishment of five prizes:

The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) is a membership group for black law enforcement CEOs and command level officials in local, state, county, and federal government. Headquartered in Washington, DC, it has 57 chapters in the United States and one in the Caribbean.
The goal of NOBLE is to be recognized as a highly competent public service organization that is at the forefront of providing solutions to law enforcement issues and concerns, as well as to the ever-changing needs of our communities.
The organization was founded in 1976, during a three day symposium to address crime in urban low income areas. The symposium was attended by 60 top-ranking black law enforcement executives from 24 states and 55 major cities. They exchanged views about the high rate of crime in black urban communities and the socioeconomic conditions that lead to crime and violence, as well as relevant issues such as fairness in the administration of justice, police/community relations, the hiring and promotion of black police officers, and the unique problems of the black police executive.
Recognizing that black law enforcement executives could more effectively impact the criminal justice system through a unified voice, the symposium participants departed from the planned agenda to create NOBLE.
