This is a website run by a human being who can make mistakes. Hebrew names get translated by sound. It doesn't matter whether you translate it as Noa or Noah. And NO-a is not a masculine name at all in Israel.
Also it states clearly that Noa (feminine) is simply a variant of Noah (FEMININE), not the feminine variant of Noah (masculine, which in Hebrew is pronounced like Noach). The stuff about one being Hebrew and the other Biblical Hebrew doesn't make sense and when you click on the Hebrew translation of Noa it simply spells Noah, not Noa. The reason why it says that Noa is a variant of Noah is because I think her name also got translated as Noah in the Bible (daughter of Zelophehad) and not as Noa, just as her sister's name was translated as Tirzah and not as Tirza but it doesn't matter.
And I know Noa can be a separate girls name (Japanese) but from what I've heard it's extremely rare and completely unrelated to the Hebrew name.
Tell me what you see: http://www.behindthename.com/top/name/noa/fr
Noa is way more common for boys in France and seen as a boys name in France. My mom is French. There are a few female Noas around too, but that would be like naming a daughter Noah in the US. It happens. http://www.meilleursprenoms.com/Etymologie/Etymologie.php3?search=noa. There's also Noa (f) but with a different meaning. Just as there are Noah (m) and Noah (f) in the US. In France it's just more common to not spell it with the final H and it doesn't matter anyway.
The guy with the ark in named Noé in the French translation of the Bible.This message was edited by the author on May 17, 2012 at 8:16:26 PM
