Bible Figure
Noah's wife
Nameless female in the Bible
Noah's wife was the unnamed woman who entered the ark with Noah and survived the flood with their sons and daughters-in-law.
Biography
Genesis repeatedly includes Noah's wife among the eight members of Noah's household who entered the ark and later came out after the flood. The canonical Bible never gives her a personal name. Names assigned to her in later Jewish and Christian traditions are extra-biblical.
Biblical Significance
Noah's wife is an important anonymous participant in the preservation of Noah's family through the flood. Her database record should remain unnamed rather than adopting a traditional name as biblical fact.
