This person is the most likely candidate for the historical Noah of the Hebrew record/Christian Bible. Possible other names for this king are still being investigated including the following:

Nuwa Yao, (Parthian Variant)
Atra-Hasis (possibly a Mesopotamian version of his name)
Utnapishtim (possibly a Mesopotamian version of his name)
Nebré, (Egyptian Mythological king, likely earlier than Anedjeb)
Zin-suddu, (most likely a name associated with his "son" Japheth
Ziusudra, (most likely a name associated with his "son" Japheth
Ziudsura, (most likely a name associated with his "son" Japheth
Zin-Suddu, (most likely a name associated with his "son" Japheth
Ziudsura, (most likely a name associated with his "son" Japheth

In the Biblical record he is given 3 sons (Shem, Ham, and Japheth) who are saved with him in the Ark (a large boat) which he built for the purpose of preserving humanity and two of every other living creature from the great flood.

The Egyptian records name him as "King Catfish" and he is not a pharaoh in his own right but a son in law of the Pharaoh of Egypt whose descendants become the Pharaohs of the First Dynasty. King Catfish had his origins in the Upper Mesopotamian region and very near the time of the Shuppurak flood.

In the Mesopotamian records, Anedjeb himself does not appear but his history (slightly modified) is reintroduced through the migrations of his descendants back into the upper Mesopotamian region in later centuries.

To date there are several possibilities of identification of additional "sons" of Anedjib (sons of the historical "Noah") But none that can be identified with certainty. It appears that the Judeo-Christian chronicles (compiled in the Bible) may preserve the notion of the family without particular chronological accuracy. Shem, Semerkhet (1st Dynasty - Egypt, ?) of the 1st Dynasty, Ham Ham ? (Sons of God) (?, b. after -2201) founder of the 3nd Dynasty, and Japheth (Sneferu (Soris) (4th Dynasty - Egypt, ?), Founder of the 4th Dynasty). The records of the Aryans also name Boethos (Boniter) Hotepsekhemwy (2nd Dynasty - Egypt, ?), founder of the 2nd Dynasty, as a "son" (actually son-in-law) of Anedjib.
