Nouh is of Arabic origin, meaning "life" or "living." It is pronounced /ˈnuːh/. The name is popular among those who practice the Islamic faith and is often used in communities where Arabic influences are prevalent. Nouh can be spelled in various ways, including Noah, Nooh, Nuwah, and Nuh, but it remains distinct from the biblical figure Noah, which has a different etymology. The name Nouh has been adopted by some non-Arabic speaking communities as well, contributing to its global recognition.
The name Nouh experienced fluctuations in popularity over the given years, with a noticeable increase in recent times. After a period of consistently low numbers between 2007 and 2015 (with an average of around 5 births per year), there was a significant spike in 2017 with 10 births. This trend continued, with peaks of 14 births in 2021 and 16 births in 2023. Overall, Nouh has seen a total of 98 births over the span of these years.
