How would the Kaifeng Jews spell their name if named after Noah from Noah’s Ark?

I’m curious about how the Kaifeng Jewish community, in China, would name themselves after Noah, the figure from the Torah who built the ark. Given that they have a unique blend of Jewish and Chinese culture, would they use a Chinese transliteration of Noah’s name? For example, would they spell it as Nuo (诺) or something else, or would they use the traditional Hebrew form, like Noach or Noah? What was/is the adaptation of Noah’s name in this context
