Origin and meaning of Noah
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.
