Resting-One
| Root | נוח (n-w-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | rest, settle down, repose, quietness, relief |
| Semantic Range | Personal name meaning "rest" or "resting"; evokes relief, repose, or settling after turmoil. |
| Conceptual Significance | Noach stands as the figure through whom relief and renewed stability come after the flood judgment. His name anticipates themes of rest and comfort (cf. Genesis 5:29), symbolizing divine preservation and the reestablishment of order in creation. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name), absolute form; from the verbal root נוח. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name נֹחַ (Nōaḥ) derives from the root נוח, meaning "to rest" or "to settle." Rendering it as "Resting-One" preserves the verbal idea of rest inherent in the root while reflecting the masculine singular proper noun form indicated by the morphology (HNp). |
