Noah.
Boy
Noah and the rainbow story. Noah brings the Genesis story of the ark, the flood and the rainbow covenant. If that story is part of your family's faith or reading, it gives the name a connection beyond its sound.
A meaning of rest. Noah comes from Hebrew Noach, with the meaning “rest” or “repose”. You might like the calm idea in that meaning, without expecting a name to describe a child's temperament.
This meaning belongs to the masculine name, not the distinct feminine Hebrew Noa/Noah.
