In the Genesis account, what was Noah’s wife called?

In the Genesis account, Noah’s wife is unnamed.

Genesis mentions Noah’s wife as one of the people who entered the ark, but it never gives her personal name. The same narrative identifies Noah’s three sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—while referring to the women simply as their wives.

Later Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions supplied names for Noah’s wife. One widely known Jewish tradition calls her Naamah, but that name comes from later interpretation rather than from the Genesis Flood narrative itself. Other traditions use different names.

This distinction matters when separating the biblical text from later storytelling. The canonical Genesis account identifies Noah’s wife by her relationship to Noah, not by a personal name. Therefore “unnamed” is the precise answer for the account itself.
