History & Origin

Noath is best read as a modern respelling of Noah, from the Hebrew Noach, 'rest; comfort'. Noah has been among the most-used boys' names of recent decades, and respellings follow popularity as a matter of course. The 'th' is decorative rather than etymological, and the route is uncertain, which we note (said 'NOH-uth').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare spelling, familiar name.

Did you know? One added letter changes the look of a very familiar name. Noath keeps Noah's sound and its sense of rest, while giving the page something new — a modern move, so we flag the route as uncertain (said 'NOH-uth').
