In Hebrew Noah is actually a feminine name. The man with the arch is named Noach in Hebrew. Noah is not used for boys at all in Israel whereas for girls it used to be #1.

I love this! Jeez haters, it is just a variant of Noa, the feminine form of Noah (which is usually considered MASCULINE) Translation: This name is UNISEX.
This is the most popular name for girls in Israel. The etymology is indeed "motion", but its meaning is also derived from the biblical character, Noa - one of the 5 daughters of Zelophehad. Noa and her 4 sisters were the first feminists in history (-: They petitioned Moses for their rights (and woman's rights in general) to inherit property.
