This is an official answer by QuranicNames.com Staff

Nuha means "intelligent" as used in the Quran in verse 20:54, you can check any book of tafseer (interpretation of the Quran) or any Quran translation and you will see this meaning. Noha is simply another spelling of Nuha.

If the people you mentioned can provide references to a book that can back up what they say, then we will look into it.
