The grup 8 elemnts are quite unreactive- the term noble was I think coined for gold and other unreactive metals- and the adjective got re-used- they were once called the inert gases- but this is no longer true as unstable reactive compounds have been made for Argon and the heavier members of the group.

The elements of group 18 are infact known as noble gases as they are generally chemically inert under normal conditions.
