Nobility - someone of a high (hereditary) rank.

Gandalf was a Wizard and many people considered that a powerful title. Boromir and Faramir were the sons of the Steward, who was ruleing at the time so i would consider that nobility. one reason i think it is like this is because they were going to a council in Rivendell about the fate of ME, and you wouldnt find any random people there, just like you wouldnt find any random people at the UN meetings. and then the destruction of the ring had to be done imediately so there was no time to go home assemble an army, so Elrond made the Fellowship of the nine, who were of the nobility because they were at an important meeting.
