Noah took to himself a wife, and her name was Emzara, the daughter of Rake'el, the daughter of his father's brother. Jubilee 4:33 i think she was referred to as beautiful?

I have another answer, but I am no longer confident in it. Let me look further.

Sammy, you may be right. The possibly apocryphal Book of Jubilees does indeed give Emzara as Noah's wife. (She was also his cousin! Eek) You sure know you Bible!

Were you originally looking for Naamah, first introduced in Genesis 4:22? She is considered Noah's wife by many biblical scholars. Several links from Judaism:

The Jewish Encyclopedia
Torah.org

There is also a children's book:

A Prayer for the Earth: The Story of Naamah, Noah's Wife

No, I wasn't, Fuse, but I did see that name when researching Sammy's answer. I got the impression that the two names were actually one person. My answer was that she had no name, that no name was given her in the Bible. However, there are several versions of the Bible, and some religions accept the Book of Jubilees. To be honest, I like the name Mrs. Noah best.
