The Hebrew proper name Nowchah (Nohah) refers to the fourth son of Benjamin. The name means "rest" or "quiet," derived from the root nuwach (H5117). It reflects the parents' hope for peace and tranquility in their child's life.
Nohah appears in the genealogical records of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. These genealogies served to preserve tribal identity and land inheritance, both critical elements of God's covenant promises. The name "rest" within Benjamin's lineage is notable given that Benjamin's territory would later include Jerusalem, the ultimate resting place for God's name.
