Quote:CHINESE MEANING OF NOAH
In Chinese, the name Noah means: "man through whom the weed curse is removed". We can assume that the weed was the wicked man that was killed in the flood. Chinese writing would go back to a time not long after the flood when memories of Noah and the flood were still vivid in the minds of the people. This gives more credence to Noah being a real figure in history rather than myth that man today has claimed.
As a chinese native speaker. No. Just no. As in they completely dreamed this up.
