Noahjeffrey

Origin

The name 'Noah Jeffrey' is a compound constructed from the biblical name 'Noah' and the given name 'Jeffrey.' 'Noah' originates from the Hebrew 'Noach,' meaning 'rest' or 'comfort,' and appears in the Old Testament as a pivotal figure during the Great Flood. 'Jeffrey' derives from the Norman French 'Geoffrey,' itself from the Germanic elements 'gott' (god) and 'frid' (peace), meaning 'God's peace.' While neither name has Indigenous Australian roots, the combination reflects a contemporary Anglo-Australian naming trend of blending biblical and traditional Western given names.
