Noach is Hebrew in Origin.
Noach is the Hebrew form of the biblical name commonly rendered as Noah, from נֹחַ (Noaḥ). It derives from the Hebrew root nuach, “to rest, settle, repose,” with a traditional association in Genesis 5:29 to “comfort” as a folk etymology. The name thus conveys ideas of rest, relief, and peace. In Hebrew and Yiddish speech it ends with a guttural kh sound and is distinct from the feminine name Noa.
Used throughout Jewish history - from rabbinic texts to medieval Ashkenazi and Sephardi communities - Noach remained a staple in the diaspora (Yiddish Noyakh) and in modern Israel, even as the global form Noah surged in popularity. International variants include Noah (English, German), Noé (French, Spanish, Portuguese), Noè (Italian), Noa/Nooa (Scandinavian/Finnish), Noe (Polish/Czech), Nojus (Lithuanian), Nuh (Arabic), and Noach in Dutch and some biblical German usage. Related surnames include Noack and Noak.
