Genesis connects Noah’s name with the Hebrew idea of “rest.”
In Genesis 5:29, Noah’s father Lamech explains the name by saying that Noah will bring relief or comfort from the difficult labor associated with the cursed ground. The wordplay links Noah’s name with a Hebrew root associated with rest, although translations phrase the explanation in slightly different ways.
This naming explanation appears before the Flood narrative and helps establish Noah’s role in the genealogy from Adam through the generations before the catastrophe. It is not a statement that Noah’s name literally means every form of rest in every language; it is a biblical Hebrew wordplay.
Noah is also called Nuh in Arabic and is an important prophet in the Quran. That later form should not replace the answer when the question specifically asks about Genesis’s Hebrew name. The name being explained in Genesis is Noah.
