Tanoah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Tanoah

What is the meaning of the name Tanoah ?

The baby name Tanoah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced tah-NOH-ah.

Tanoah is Biblical, Hebrew in Origin.

Tanoah is a modern, rare given name with a blended feel. Its shape recalls the Polynesian/Fijian name Tanoa - also the word for the carved wooden bowl used to serve kava and a cultural emblem of hospitality - and echoes the biblical Noah. The final -h is often an English stylistic flourish; some modern spellings echo Polynesian orthography as Tano'a.

Documented usage of Tanoah appears sporadically from the late 20th century in North America, with both masculine and unisex application. The related Tanoa was borne by Ratu Tanoa Visawaqa, a 19th-century Fijian chief. Meanings therefore vary by reading: from the Polynesian strand, Tanoah evokes gathering and welcome around the kava bowl; from Hebrew Noah (Noach), it carries "rest, comfort." Variants and relatives include Tanoa, Tano'a, Noah, and Kanoa; nickname options include Tano.
