What is the meaning of the name Taha ?

The baby name Taha is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TAA-HAA.

Taha is Arabic in Origin.

Taha is an Arabic masculine name from Qur’anic Arabic Ṭā Hā, written طه. Its earliest securely attested form is the opening verse and title of Sura 20 of the Qur’an, traditionally classed among the muqaṭṭaʿāt, the disjoined letters that introduce several chapters. The form joins the letter names ṭāʾ and hāʾ rather than a normal lexical root, so a literal meaning is not recoverable from Arabic morphology.

As a given name, Taha is chiefly associated with Muslim naming practice, where Qur’anic chapter names and devotional epithets became personal names. Medieval and later Islamic usage also treated Ṭāhā as an honorific name of the Prophet Muhammad, which encouraged interpretations such as the purest, though these are exegetical rather than linguistic. The spelling Taha is common in Arabic transliteration, Turkish, Urdu, and South Asian contexts; Ta-Ha, Taaha, and Ṭāhā reflect other romanizations.
