Question

is the name noah acceptable as a boy's name in islam? as i wish to name my son.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The name in reference is suitable to give for your baby boy[1]. However, the spelling and pronunciation is Nooh rather than Noah.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
