In the Old Testament of the Bible, Noah is the man God chooses to build a huge boat — an ark — because a terrible flood is coming that will cover the earth. He takes his family, and two of every kind of animal. English-speaking children grow up with songs about the animals going in “two by two”, so “Noah’s ark” is a picture almost everyone knows, even people who do not read the Bible much. The name is used as a boy’s name in English too. Though actually, the famous story is about one man; it is not a word for “a flood” or “a boat” by itself.
挪亞（天主教寫法是諾厄；故事裡的船叫方舟）
組成Does not split in English. From Biblical Hebrew נֹחַ (Nōaḥ), the ark-builder. The English name Noah is also attested from a different Hebrew name, נֹעָה (Nōʿâ), which is not this story.

lifestylereligionA figure in Abrahamic religions, believed to have built an ark to save his family and members of each species of animal from the Great Flood.
- Now, on the night the baby Lord Jesus was born in that stable in Bethlehem, several came to bow down to him and his mother the lady Mary. They were three powerful warlords known as the Magi who brought many fine gifts. And still another, a wonderful man, a sea captain named Noah came to visit Jesus. His ship was called Noah's Ark. The Lord Jesus liked this Noah for he was a wise man, especially in the ways of animals whom he often took sailing in his Ark. This man, Noah was born long before the Lord Jesus but men in those days lived to be very old. So, no one can be sure, no one at all, that Noah did not visit Jesus in that stable in Bethlehem.
- But records of the first dynasty, that of the Xia, contain stories of a Great Flood with a Noah-like savior, the Emperor Yu, who gained the mandate of heaven after dredging canals to dispel the floodwaters and make the land safe. Historians have long wondered whether this flood account was a creation-style myth, the folk memory of a real event, or some mixture of the two. Some have dismissed the story of Emperor Yu as a fiction intended to justify centralized rule and, in the absence of any evidence of a massive flood at the time, many have regarded the stories of the Xia dynasty as more myth than history.
