What does the name 
Noe mean?

The name Noe is a variant of Noah. It is used in the Latin and Greek Bible and today mainly found in the European country Georgia. Noah comes from the Hebrew name Noach meaning ‘rest, repose’.

Noe has... been known in the US since the 1940s but is nowhere near as popular as Noah.

Noe has 3 letters 
and begins with an N

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: 3.0% of all common boys' names in the US begin with an N. This means that N as the first letter for boys' names is neither particularly common nor rare. The most common first letters of boys' names are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.

With only three letters, the name Noe is obviously very short. In fact, only 1.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly three letters. Just 0.2% of all first names are even shorter and only have two letters, while nearly 99% of all boys’ and girls’ names use more than three letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

Thus, if 3.0% of all boys’ names start with an N, this initial letter is slightly less common than all other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are boys' names with N that are quite common in the U.S., the most common at present is Nicholas.

Other names with 
N, o and e

If you take all the letters in the name Noe – N, o and e – and put them together again, you can form other names, such as Neo or others.
