I think this post will be difficult to convince some of the people. That is because the meaning of the name Noah is distorted just like Jacobs name.
When you go online the and search for Noah - the meaning is rest. I don't believe Noah means rest. I believe the clue is in the story. According to the bible Noah found grace. I believe his name was what directed his life. In Genesis 6: 8 (KJV) it says : But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
At this point if you don't believe that names direct your life, I don't know how to convince you. Noah found grace from God because his name is grace. It may sound like a fairytale but it is true. Names are not just names. If names were just names, then why did God change some peoples names to achieve His goal?
Noah finds grace because he was named grace. Now what is grace in Bantu dialects? I think I will spare giving other dialects and go straight to the one applicable - that is Sotho. Grace in Sotho is mohau and in paleo Hebrew is Noach.
The scrambling of this name was real. The only common letters are O nd A. Enough to conclude that the real meaning and the words share the same group of languages. How did they scramble Mohau. Well I suspect they changed M to N first and the name was Nohau. Secondly was to move A to between O and H to get Noahu. The last thing was change U to C and swap the letters again to get NOACH.
Whoever was doing the scrambling, I believe the Holy Spirit did not allow all the letters in Bantu to be changed. In the worst case scenario only one letter is left but I haven't found a situation where all letters don't match.
Conclusion : Noah was Mohau.
