Where it comes from

From Biblical Hebrew נֹחַ (Nōaḥ).

proper noun Noahs · Noe

  1. A figure in Abrahamic religions, believed to have built an ark to save his family and members of each species of animal from the Great Flood. Now, on the night the baby Lord Jesus was born in that stable in Bethlehem, several came to bow down to him and his mother the lady Mary. They were three powerful warlords known as the Magi who brought many fine gifts. And still another, a wonderful man, a sea captain named Noah came to visit Jesus.
  2. A male given name from Hebrew. Easy to account for those trends - but what of post-Vietnam America and its generation of little Noahs? Were we expecting a flood momentarily?
  3. A surname.
  4. The 71st sura (chapter) of the Qur'an.
