Your response didn't reflect anything about his skin color which is what my post was referring to1. The woman speaking is one of Solomon's love interests--the condemnation on him was that he went after thousands of GENTILE women, including a famous AFRICAN woman the Queen of the South or Queen of Sheba. Could've been her.
2. That particular Book of Enoch gives the wrong reason for Noah having received his name (meaning, "rest, comfort") so I do not accept its authenticity.
Genesis 5:29And he named him Noah,e saying, “May this one comfort us in the labor and toil of our hands caused by the ground that the LORD has cursed.”
Enoch 106:18 ...And now make known to thy son Lamech that he who has been born is in truth his son, and call his name Noah; for he shall be left to you, and he and his sons shall be saved from the destruction, which shall come upon the earth on account of all the sin and all the unrighteousness, which shall be consummated on the earth in his days. And after that there shall be still more unrighteousness than that which was first consummated on the earth; for I know the mysteries of the holy ones; for He, the Lord, has showed me and informed me, and I have read (them) in the heavenly tablets.
As far as how he got his name and why.... I like this commentary a lot better.
What is the significance of Noah's name?
A central theme of these chapters is the relationship between humanity [adam] and the earth [adamah] from which they were created. When the man and the woman eat the forbidden fruit, the man's relationship with the ground is cursed:
Genesis 3.17-19
And to the man he said, ‘Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree about which I commanded you, “You shall not eat of it”, cursed is the ground [adamah] because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; you are dust, and to dust you shall return.’
This is amplified further when Cain, a worker of the ground, kills his brother Abel:
Genesis 4.10-12
And Yahweh said, ‘What have you done? Listen; your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground! And now you are cursed from the ground [adamah], which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you till the ground, it will no longer yield to you its strength; you will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.’ Cain said to Yahweh, ‘My punishment is greater than I can bear! Today you have driven me away from the soil [adamah]’
The narrative continues up to Cain's descendent Lamech, who fathers three sons and a daughter. The sons, Jabal, Jubal, and Tubalcain, are identified as developing culture in three major ways (music, nomadic shepherding, and blacksmithing). Soon after, Lamech fathers a fourth son:
Genesis 5.29
he named him Noah, saying, ‘Out of the ground [adamah] that Yahweh has cursed this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands.’
This is then addressed directly, when Noah renders an offering to Yahweh after the flood:
Genesis 8.21
Yahweh said in his heart, ‘I will never again curse the ground [adamah] because of humankind’
Out of Lamech's four sons, Noah's own contribution to cultural development is to work the ground in a new way: vineyard-keeping. This is the 'relief' from the curse, which Lamech predicted would happen through his son.
Genesis
Noah, a man of the soil [adamah], was the first to plant a vineyard.
