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.[1]
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.[2]

In Mandaeism
The Book of Kings, the final book of the Mandaean Right Ginza,[3] refers to Noah's (or Shem's)[4] wife by the name Nuraita (or Nhuraitha, Anhuraita, among various other spellings).[5] 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.[6]
