Minha is Arabic in Origin.

Minha is a cross-cultural given name with two primary sources. In Arabic (منحة, minḥa), it denotes a “gift” or “bestowal,” often understood as a blessing, and is used chiefly for girls in Arab and Urdu-speaking communities. Related spellings include Minhah and Minah; Minnah (منة) is a cognate meaning “favor/grace.” The word is attested in classical Arabic and the name has seen wider modern use across the Middle East and South Asia.

In Korean, Minha (민하) is a modern two-syllable name formed from hanja chosen for meaning; common options include Min (敏/玟/旻 “clever, gem, autumn sky”) and Ha (夏/河/雅/賀 “summer, river, elegant, celebrate”). The name is unisex but trends feminine and has gained international visibility through K‑culture since the late 20th century. Variants and spellings include Min-ha and Min Ha; Portuguese minha (“my”) is unrelated.
