Noa is both a male and female first name as well as a surname.

In Israel, the name Noa (Hebrew: נֹועָה) is primarily a popular name for girls. In the Hebrew language, the word Noa means “movement”. In the Hebrew Bible, Noa was one of the Five Daughters of Zelophehad and is considered an early feminist who with her sisters gains legitimacy over their inheritance/destiny after the death of their father . In some languages, Noa is another form of Noah but in the original Hebrew Noa and Noah are pronounced very differently and have opposing meanings. Noa, meaning movement, and Noah, meaning comfort or rest. ^[1]
