In the Quran, what is the name of Noah’s son who refuses to board the Ark?

In the Quran, Noah’s son who refuses to board the Ark is unnamed.

Surah Hud 11:42–43 describes Noah calling to a son who stands apart and refuses to join him. The son says he will take refuge on a mountain, but the rising waves separate them. The Quran then states that the son is among those who drown, without giving him a personal name.

Later Islamic and non-Islamic traditions sometimes identify this son with names such as Canaan or Yam. Those names are not supplied in the Quranic passage itself. The safest canonical answer to a question about the Quran is therefore that the son remains unnamed.

The episode emphasizes that family relationship alone does not guarantee rescue in the Quranic account. Noah’s son declines the Ark’s protection, while the narrative presents faith and obedience as the relevant distinction.
