Noa (name)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Noa is both a male and female first name as well as a surname.

In Israel, the name Noa (Hebrew: נֹועָה / נֹעָה) is primarily a popular given name for girls. Derived from the Biblical character Noa (Hebrew: נֹעָה), one of the five Daughters of Zelophehad, the name means “movement”. In some languages, Noa is an alternate spelling of Noah (Hebrew: נֹחַ), although the names are unrelated in Hebrew and are spelled and pronounced differently.[1]
