What was the name of Noah’s wife in the 2014 film Noah?

In the 2014 film Noah, Noah’s wife is named Naameh.

Naameh is played by Jennifer Connelly in Darren Aronofsky’s biblical drama. The film presents her as Noah’s wife and the mother of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, with Ila also becoming part of the family’s story.

The name is especially notable because the Book of Genesis does not give Noah’s wife a name. The film therefore makes a creative choice rather than reproducing a name explicitly supplied by the biblical Flood narrative. Later Jewish and Islamic traditions preserve different names or descriptions in some sources.

Noah was released in 2014 and stars Russell Crowe in the title role. Its plot expands considerably on Genesis, adding character relationships, visual motifs, and episodes not stated in the biblical text.
