Great to know the differences exist between Noa and Noah! I actually thought Noa was simply a variant of Noah. Silly me!

Technically they could be spelled both ways for either gender/meaning in English (I've seen examples of that, even though Noa seems most prevalent as feminine and vice versa), but yeah, they're based on separate Hebrew names.
