Noah's wife is one of the four wives aboard Noah's Ark. While nameless in the Bible (Genesis 4:22; Gen. 7:7), apocryphal literature lists 103 variations of her name and personality.

Some apocryphal literature identified her with Naamah, the daughter of Lamech,[citation needed] and thus a descendant of Cain, but the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit states that Noah's wife was one of his "own kindred" (Tobit 4:12). In the Dead Sea Scrolls, she is named Emzara.

In Mandaeism

The Book of Kings, the final book of the Mandaean Right Ginza, refers to Noah's (or Shem's) wife by the name Nuraita (or Nhuraitha, Anhuraita, among various other spellings). There is some contradiction between texts, and some textual ambiguity, regarding which patriarch is married to Nuraita; additionally, Anhuraita appears to be a portmanteau of Nuraita and Anhar, the wives of Noah and Shem.
