Noah went and took a wife, and he chose Naamah the daughter of Enoch, and she was five hundred and eighty years old.

- Book of Jasher 5:15

Most experts on the subjects would agree that her name was probably Naamah (Haykel or Titea are also remote possibilities) The name of the woman that Noah chose to be his wife is not listed in the Bible. In fact, none of the 4 females (Noah's wife, Shem's wife, Ham's wife, and Japheth's wife) who were saved from the Great Flood by being aboard Noah's Ark with their Ark are ever mentioned by name in Scriptures. This has not stopped a vast amount of speculation into the actual names of the four female passengers aboard Noah's Ark.

14 And the Lord said unto Noah, Take unto thee a wife, and beget children, for I have seen thee righteous before me in this generation.

15 And thou shalt raise up seed, and thy children with thee, in the midst of the earth; and Noah went and took a wife, and he chose Naamah the daughter of Enoch, and she was five hundred and eighty years old.

16 And Noah was four hundred and ninety-eight years old, when he took Naamah for a wife.

17 And Naamah conceived and bare a son, and he called his name Japheth, saying, God has enlarged me in the earth; and she conceived again and bare a son, and he called his name Shem, saying, God has made me a remnant, to raise up seed in the midst of the earth.

18 And Noah was five hundred and two years old when Naamah bare Shem, and the boys grew up and went in the ways of the Lord, in all that Methuselah and Noah their father taught them.
