In the biblical story of Noah's Ark, what were the names of Noah's three sons?

In the biblical story of Noah's Ark, Noah's three sons were Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Genesis names these three men shortly before describing the Flood and again after the waters recede. Each son entered the Ark with his wife, making them part of the family preserved through the catastrophe. Their names are central to the genealogy that follows the Flood narrative.

The text later presents the descendants of Shem, Ham, and Japheth in what is often called the Table of Nations. This genealogy links the sons with different peoples and regions known to the biblical writers. The story does not name their wives, although it does state that each son had one.
