Inoah is a modern given name with multiple possible roots.

Variants and spellings include Inoa, I’Noah, I-Noah, Enoah, and Inoá; related forms are Noah, Noa, Noach, and Noé. Because it lacks a long historical record, its associations lean modern and fluid, balancing biblical familiarity with an inventive twist. Some parents also read it as blending elements of Isaiah or Imani with Noah.
