Noa is both a male and female given and family name.

In Israel, the name Noa ({{langx|he|נֹועָה / נֹעָה}}) is primarily a popular given name for girls. Derived from the Biblical character Noa (Hebrew: נֹעָה), one of the five Daughters of Zelophehad, the name means “movement”. In some languages, Noa is an alternate spelling of Noah (Hebrew: נֹחַ), although the names are unrelated in Hebrew and are spelled and pronounced differently.{{cite web | url=http://www.behindthename.com/name/noa-1 | title=Meaning, origin and history of the name Noa (1) }}
