About Koah
Likely used as a spin on Koa with a hint of Noah about it too, this form debuted in the US charts for boys in 2025. The same year saw it climb, albeit only slightly, for girls too, though it remains outside the top ranking choices for now.
Koa could derive from the Hawaiian name meaning "warrior", though it could also relate to the Hebrew Koach (meaning "strength") or the Maori Koa, (meaning "happy").

Pronounced KOH-uh.
As of October 2026, Koah ranked #3150 in US births in 2025 SSA.
Editor's take: The name Koah is a girl's name of American, Hawaiian origin meaning "warrior; strength".
