History & Origin

Emzara comes from the Book of Jubilees, a Jewish text of the second century BCE that fills in names the Bible leaves blank — among them the wife of Noah. The name has been quietly carried in Jewish and Christian tradition ever since. Its literal root is unsettled, so it is chosen for its story, which we note respectfully (said 'em-ZAR-uh').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, ancient, and story-rich.

Did you know? The Bible never names Noah's wife — but the Book of Jubilees, an ancient Jewish text, calls her Emzara. Her name survived in tradition rather than in scripture, and its literal meaning is not securely known, which we note respectfully (said 'em-ZAR-uh').
