It doesn't matter. As you may notice, most women are not important in many middle eastern religions.

The Bible does not give us the name of Noah's wife. There are no historical records we can trust or ancient traditions that give us her name either. However, there is an unreliable, and very speculative document published by a religious cult entitled the Book of Abraham. In that book they claim her name is Namaah. This book appears to be of modern origin and not from ancient times. It is important not to put ancient sources and modern speculation on an equal level with God's inspired, inerrant word. The Bible speaks truth, but we cannot always trust other books and sources. So we do not really know her name.

There does not seem to be any passages in the Bible referring to her other than the account beginning in Genesis 7:7 which mentions Noah's wife. His wife is not named in the Bible for certain; however, according to Jewish tradition her name is Naamah.

Noah's wife's name is not mentioned at all in the Bible.

I don't believe the bible mentions her name. She is referred to as "Noah's Wife". And Sarah was Abrahams wife I believe

I am replying to merlin_steele. Many women are mentioned and discussed and are important in the Jewish scriptures. I think it is narrow of you to say what you did; it reflects a buy-into of feminist rhetoric which is often to support the rejection of religion.
Noah's wife goes unnamed (using the Artscroll Chumash I couldn't find her in the commentaries either) apparently because she didn't do anything of note other than being Noah's wife and the mother of his sons.

It must have been "sweetheart" because we arn't told her name in the Noah account in the Book of Genesis.

There is a tradition that she was Naamah (Genesis 4:22)
