The name Noa is not a form of the name Noah! Noa is a name for females, in the Old Testament Noa was the sister of Merav.

In the Bible Noa was not the sister of Merav, Michal was. Noa's sisters were Hoglah, Mahlah, Milcah, and Tirzah. They were the daughters of Zelophehad, who is mentioned in the books of Numbers and Joshua.

It's first mentioned in the bible on the moment that the land was divided between the sons. The father of Noa Zippora had no sons so they asked Mozes to give her fathers what should be his, otherwise his name would be vanished. Mozes agreed. The meaning is not certain but maybe it means see how moves a lot (I don't know the exact word in English for it).

My name is Noa. It's really, really popular for girls in Israel, I think it's number one, and that's annoying sometimes. But other than that, it's fine. And by the way, the only time it was mentioned in the bible, as far as I know, was as one of Zelophehad's daughters.

Noa is a Hebrew feminine name, but is NOT a version of Noah the boy's name. The Hebrew letters are different. Noa means "quaking", "trembling" or "movement". Noah means "comfort".

This is the stage name the Israeli singer-song writer Achinoam Nini uses outside of Israel.

I absolutely love this name. I like how it can fit either a girly-girl, or it can fit the most tomboyish girl on earth.

The feminine form of the name Noa isn't derived from the name Noah. It was the name of the first entitled female heir in the Old Testament.

I love the sound of this name. I would name a son Noah or a daughter Noa. It would of course either be a son name Noah or a daughter named Noa, not both because it would be weird to have 2 kids named Noa and Noah.

In the manga Fruits Basket, Noa is part of Shigure's penname. He uses it to write romance novels (often called "sick", "dimestore smut", etc.).

This name can also be spelled using the kanji "no" from "nohara," meaning field, and the kanji "sora," which means sky/empty and can also be pronounced "a."
