Noah

Noah is a name with biblical gravitas and contemporary appeal in equal measure. In the Bible, Noah was the righteous man who built an ark to save his family and the animals from the great flood—a story known across cultures and religions. The name comes from Hebrew roots meaning rest or comfort, which carries interesting irony given that Noah's biblical story involves considerable hardship before finding rest. The name has consistently ranked among the top boy names for decades, and in recent years has climbed to the very top of the charts. Noah parents often describe their sons as having a calm, steady presence—a reliability that others find comforting. They tend to be the kind of children who are level-headed in difficult situations, who can be counted on to do what they say they'll do.
