Genesis 6:8

But Noah (Hebr. Noach) had found favor (undeserved love; favor – chen) in the eyes of the Lord (Yahweh).
[This is the first occurrence of the Hebrew word chen. Its meaning is grace, undeserved love, and favor. The word also appears in the forms chanan and chanon. The word chanan means the same thing with the addition of extraordinary kindness, while chanon essentially means grace and favor. Chanon appears only 13 times in the Old Testament, while chen and chanan appear 67 and 72 times, respectively. In addition to grace, the special emphasis on these words is that they refer to undeserved love. No action can in any way make us worthy of this kind of grace. This verse also contains the name Noah (Hebr. Noach), the same two letters as grace, but mirror-inverted.]
