What does Noodle mean?
/ˈnu.dəl/

Noodle is simply the everyday word for a long strip of pasta or dough, most often boiled before eating. The word entered English by the 18th century, likely borrowed from the German Nudel.

Noodle is pure comfort-food charm — an instant smile of a name, perfect for a long-bodied, floppy, or endearingly goofy pet.
