Noah
Built the ark
Noah is a masculine given name of Hebrew origin, meaning rest or comfort.
In the Bible, Noah built an ark to survive the great flood, preserving his family and pairs of animals.
The name has become extremely popular in the 21st century: Noah topped the U.S. baby name charts for years.
