Seder Olama timeline of Jewish history

Tzilah צִלָּה

wife of Lemech, mother of Tuval-Kayin and Naamah

"And Tzilah too bore Tuval-Kayin, instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron; and the sister of Tuval-Kayin was Naamah" (Bereshit 4:22).

The Torah names her with Adah in Lemech's address (Bereshit 4:23). Nothing else is said of her, and there are no years.
