Meaning & Origin
Novah is a girl's and boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant spelling of Nova, from the Latin nova meaning "new" or in astronomy, a star that suddenly increases dramatically in brightness. The added h gives it a slightly more Hebrew-inspired feel, connecting it to names like Jonah and Noah.
Novah carries the celestial beauty of the star phenomenon — sudden brilliance lighting up the sky. It has been rising alongside Nova as parents discover this short, luminous name that manages to feel both ancient and entirely modern at the same time.
