Naamah is a name attested in the Hebrew Bible for several mortal women and later reworked in Jewish mystical and folkloric literature as a feminine supernatural figure associated in Zoharic material with the archangel Samael and with erotic/nocturnal motifs; in some later traditions she is linked with unions to angelic or fallen figures that produce classes of spirits (shedim/sedim).
