Question:

what is the name of Nuh's son

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

 

If you mean the son of Nooh (Noah)  may  Allaah  exalt  his  mention who did not ride the ship, and was among the drowned, and whose story is mentioned in the Quran, then there are different narrations about him. Ibn Katheer  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him said in his Tafseer (Interpretation of the Quran): "This is the fourth son whose name was Yaam; and he was a disbeliever." Al-Qurtubi  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him said, “Allaah’s Saying (which means): {and Noah called to his son}[Quran 11:42]: It was said that he was a disbeliever and his name is Kan`aan, or Yaam according to another saying."

Allaah Knows best.
