Usage: The name "Noah" means "rest" or "comfort." In the New Testament, Nóe is used to refer to the biblical patriarch Noah, who is a central figure in the Genesis flood narrative. He is depicted as a righteous man chosen by God to survive the great flood and to preserve human and animal life by building an ark.

Cultural and Historical Background: Noah is a significant figure in the Judeo-Christian tradition, known for his unwavering faith and obedience to God. According to Genesis, Noah lived in a time of widespread corruption and violence. God, seeing the wickedness of humanity, decided to cleanse the earth with a flood but chose Noah to carry on the human race due to his righteousness. The account of Noah is not only a tale of judgment but also of salvation and covenant, as God establishes a covenant with Noah after the flood, symbolized by the rainbow.
