Nowadays noon is considered to be 12:00 mid-day.

This has not always been the case, it was considered to be 09:00 or 9 am, or the ninth hour after sunrise, or 06:00 am depending on the epoch in which you lived.
Calendars vary over time and there are several different calendars or ways of counting time and dates.
Even today calendars count days and time in different ways. So it has become necessary to have a calendar and universal time upon which we can all agree for most purposes.

The Gregorian calendar, named after Pope Gregory XIII, is now the accepted norm for most purposes. Exceptions are usually made on religious grounds by several different religions.
