What was the name of Noah’s wife in the biblical Genesis account?

Noah’s wife is not named in the biblical Genesis account. Genesis says that Noah entered the Ark with his wife, his sons, and his sons’ wives, but it does not provide her personal name.

Later Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions supply different names or leave her unnamed. A Jewish tradition recorded in the Book of Jubilees calls her Emzara, while other later sources use names such as Naamah. These traditions should not be presented as though they were names stated in Genesis itself.

This is a common source of confusion because many biblical figures have familiar names that come from later books, legends, or artistic retellings rather than the earliest narrative. The Genesis account names Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, but it refers to the women accompanying them by their family relationships. Therefore, “not named” is the precise answer when the question is specifically about the Genesis text.
