Noahs

Noahs is primarily used as the plural form of the given name Noah, and it can also be a surname. When referring to more than one person named Noah, the term is capitalized as a proper noun, as in “the Noahs from the town attended the reunion.” As a surname, Noahs denotes a family or individuals whose last name is Noahs. In both cases, the word functions as a proper noun in English.

The given name Noah derives from Hebrew Noach, meaning “rest” or “comfort.” It has biblical roots and became common in many Western cultures, with popularity rising notably in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The plural form Noahs appears primarily in biographical lists, genealogies, or in reference to groups or families with that surname.

In contemporary usage, Noa hs is most often encountered when listing multiple people named Noah or when identifying a family with the surname Noahs. It is relatively uncommon outside of those contexts to encounter the plural form in ordinary prose.

Notable individuals named Noah (as a given name) include Noah Webster, an American lexicographer; Noah Wyle, an American actor; Noah Centineo, an American actor; and Noah Baumbach, an American filmmaker. These examples illustrate the name’s broad geographic and professional spread, though references to “the Noahs” typically appear only in biographical or genealogical writing.
