Ancient sources name Noah's unnamed wife

Biblical scholars have long noted that Noah's wife appears in the Genesis flood narrative without a name, unlike other matriarchs such as Eve, Sarah, and Rachel. Jewish writers by the second century B.C.E. began filling this gap in the text. The earliest known name assigned to her is Emzara, meaning "mother of a princess," found in the non-canonical Book of Jubilees, written around 160 B.C.E. That text identifies her as Noah's first cousin, daughter of Rake'el, Noah's father's brother. The Book of Jubilees also provides names for Noah's other nameless family members: his daughters-in-law Sedeqetelbab, Na'eltam'uk, and Adataneses. The name Emzara appears in other Second Temple literature, including the Genesis Apocryphon found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. Later rabbinic sources offer different identities for Noah's wife. The midrash Genesis Rabbah, compiled between the third and fifth centuries C.E., identifies her as Naamah, daughter of Lamech and sister of Tubal-Cain. The medieval Book of Jasher names her Naamah but as daughter of Enoch, apparently uncomfortable with Noah's wife descending from Cain's line. Whether Emzara, Naamah, or lost to history entirely, Noah's wife survived the flood narrative as a figure of faith and endurance.
