From no +? one. Compare Middle English noone, noon, noan (“noone”). More at none.

noone

1. Nonstandard spelling of no one.

Usage notes

• Noone is formed in parallel to the formation of nobody, anyone, and everyone, but it is not preferred because of the doubled vowels creating a temptation to read and pronounce it as "noon" (/nu?n/).
• American users (COCA) prefer the spelling no one to either noone or no-one by more than 500 to 1.
• UK users (BNC) prefer no-one to noone 50 to 1 and no one to noone 12 to 1.
