Taha origin and meaning
Arabic — Quranic
Uncertain — Ta-Ha is the name of the 20th surah of the Quran and a name of the Prophet in Islamic tradition; the two letters' meaning is classically left unexplained, and glosses such as 'O man' are later interpretations
Taha opens one of the Quran's great chapters and is borne across the Muslim world for that reason. Attempts to give the two letters a plain dictionary meaning go beyond what classical scholarship claims, so we mark the meaning uncertain while the name's source is clear.
Origin uncertain
Taha is a 4 letter name with 2 syllables.
