Is this just another name for him?

It's Mrs. Claus's pet name for him in the sack.

Hi,
I do not believe Santa Claus is refereed to as Noel.
The meaning of the word is of religious Latin origin, linked to Dies natalis (the birthday of Christ); ie the song,:
The first Noel the angels did say. . . .first Noel, being the birthday of Christ.
The French use the Latin word Noel, which again means:
"The birthday of Christ", . . . . . . . . not Christmas.
Christmas is an American concoction where Santa Claus is the star attraction, with retail stores making a killing with largest sales volumes for their entire sales year.
Without the Christmas buying season, many could not afford to keep the doors open.
Have a Happy Noel, and a Happy New Year,
Darryl S.

They don't call Santa Claus Noel.

"Noel" is French for Christmas. Santa Claus has many other name derivations (St Nicholas, St Nick, etc), but Noel is not one of them.
