Jewish Rabbinic Literature
The Genesis Rabba midrash lists Naamah, the daughter of Lamech and sister of Tubal-Cain, as the wife of Noah, as does the 11th-century Jewish commentator Rashi in his commentary on Sefer Bereishis 4:22.
In the medieval midrash Book of Jasher (trans. Moses Samuel c. 1840, ed. J. H. Parry 1887) Chapter 5:15, the name of Noah's wife is said to be Naamah, daughter of Enoch.
