In the biblical Noah's Ark story, what was the name of Noah's wife?

In the biblical Noah’s Ark story, Noah’s wife is not named in Genesis.

Genesis refers to Noah’s wife but does not give her a personal name. She enters the ark with Noah, their sons, and the sons’ wives, yet the Flood narrative identifies her only by her relationship to Noah. This makes “not named in Genesis” the precise answer to questions about the biblical text itself.

Later Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions supplied different names or identifications. One well-known Jewish tradition calls Noah’s wife Naamah, based on a figure mentioned in Genesis 4:22, but the biblical text does not explicitly say that this Naamah was Noah’s wife. Other later writings offer additional traditions.

Popular films, novels, and religious retellings may assign her a name for storytelling purposes. Those names should not be projected back into Genesis as though they were stated there. The distinction between the canonical text and later tradition is especially important for this character.
