Noah comes from the Hebrew Nōaḥ, 'rest, comfort, consolation'. He is the biblical patriarch who, having built the ark, saved his family and living creatures from the flood: a symbol of faith, perseverance and new beginnings. For some years it has been among the most chosen boys' names worldwide — first in the United States and widespread in Europe — loved for its gentle sound and universal reach.
