The baby name Iha is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EE-ha (IPA: /ˈi.hɑ/ or /ˈiː.hɑ/).
Iha is Japanese in Origin.
Iha is a South Asian given name from Sanskrit īhā (ईहा), a feminine noun meaning “endeavor, effort, wish, aspiration.” It is also linked to the adverb iha (इह), “here, in this world,” lending a sense of presence or the here-and-now. Predominantly feminine in India, occasionally unisex; pronounced EE-ha.
Both īhā and iha are well attested in classical Sanskrit literature - from the Upaniṣads and epics to courtly poetry - where they express striving and worldly life, yet the given name rose to prominence mainly in the late 20th–21st century with the trend for short, meaningful Sanskrit names. Variants include Īhā (scholarly transliteration), Ihaa, Eeha, and Eha; related forms are Iccha/Icchā (“wish”). Note that Iha also occurs as an Okinawan/Japanese surname (伊波) with unrelated roots.
