Noah was the son of Lamech. According to Hebrew naming tradition, he would have been known as Noah Bar-Lamech. "Bar" means "son of" in the same way as "ap" in Welsh, "Mac" in Scottish and "0'" in Irish.
For a female "bat" was used instead.

Depending on the size of the local population, he might not have needed one. If he was known by any other name besides Noah before he started building the Ark, it probably would have been based on his geographical point of origin, his occupation, some unusual personal characteristic, or his kin.

Utnapishtim was his real name (no last name,sorry folks).
The story of Noah stems from earlier sources than the Hebrew text and was borrowed from the Babylonion Text called The Enuma Elish.Only the Names were changed.

I do not think he had a surname unless it was Ark.

Mike is right, regardless of the thumbs down, I did a bit of research, and he did not have a surname, neither did his kids, Ham, Shem and Japheth.

Noah lived before surnames were in use, but if he'd had one, it would have been Ben Lamech (son of Lamech), according to ancient Jewish surname tradition.

He did not have a surname as he did not exist outside the fevered brains of religious lunatics

obviously wasn't important enough to be noted in the bible, along with the name of his wife, commonly referred to as Mrs Noah - poor thing
