Pronunciation: [nˈə͡ʊbə] (IPA) 
The word "Nobah" is an uncommon name with an interesting spelling. It is pronounced as ˈnoʊ.bə, with a stressed first syllable and a short ‘o’ in the second. The ‘b’ and ‘h’ are both pronounced, as in ‘bob-ha’. The unusual spelling may be due to its origins as a biblical name. While there is no one clear meaning behind the name, it is believed to originate from the Hebrew word ‘naveh’, meaning ‘habitation’ or ‘resting place’.
Nobah is a proper noun that predominantly appears in biblical texts, specifically found in the Old Testament. The term is primarily mentioned in the Numbers 32:42 passage of the Bible, where it refers to a place and a person associated with the Israelites during their wanderings in the wilderness. Nobah is identified as a district or a town conquered by Israel when their tribes attacked the Amorites. It is believed to have been located in the territory of the tribe of Manasseh, specifically in the area of Gilead.
As a personal name, Nobah represents an individual, who, according to biblical accounts, was victorious in battle and emerged as the conqueror of the district or town named after him. However, there is limited information available on the life or background of this person beyond the biblical narrative.
Nobah does not appear to have gained significant recognition or prominence outside of biblical references, as it remains largely confined to religious texts and historical analysis of the scriptures. Consequently, its contemporary usage is primarily restricted to religious or academic discussions regarding the historical accounts in the Bible and their relevance in ancient Israelite history.
The word "Nobah" is of Hebrew origin. It is derived from the Hebrew name "Nobah" (נובח), which is mentioned in the Bible. In the Old Testament, Nobah is the name of a person who captured and renamed the town of Kenath in the land of Gilead. The etymology and specific meaning of the name "Nobah" in Hebrew are unclear.
