Noah

Noah comes from the Hebrew name Noach, derived from the root n-ch, meaning rest or comfort. In the Hebrew Bible, Noah is the patriarch chosen by God to build an ark and survive the great flood, making him one of the most prominent figures in Abrahamic religious traditions. The name spread widely through Europe following the Protestant Reformation's renewed interest in Old Testament names, and it has remained consistently popular in the English-speaking world. Feminine use of the name traces to the biblical figure Noah daughter of Zelophehad; related forms include Noe and Noé.
