In carpentry, a noggin is a short length of material, usually wood, inserted between two studs, joists, rafters or similar to support something; perhaps the edge of a sheet of drywall, or a shelf or light fitting. It is also the term for a brickwork infill-panel in a timber frame house.
A noggin is an archaic term for a small drinking cup, often one made from wood. From this, it is also used as a unit of liquid measure equal to one quarter of a pint — either 142 or 118 ml, depending on whether the Imperial or U.S. customary pint is meant. Also: gill.

Noggin the Nog was a popular British children's television series originally shown by the BBC in the United Kingdom during the years 1959 to 1965.
Linguistically, the hero's name is from 'noggin', one of the very few surviving words of the ancient Celtic Brythonic language of pre-Roman Britain, which survives in the common phrase "use your noggin" (i.e.: 'use your head, think about a problem in order to solve it').
Various Noggin short stories were also published, and a visitor in one of them, Noggin and the Moon Mouse, later provided the basis for the characters in the popular Clangers TV series.
