What is the meaning of the name Talha ?

The baby name Talha is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TAL-ha (IPA: /ˈtˤal.ħa/).

Talha is Arabic, Islamic in Origin.

Talha (Arabic طلحة, Ṭalḥa) is an Arabic masculine name drawn from ṭalḥ, a botanical term in Classical Arabic. In the Qur’an (56:29), ṭalḥ is cited among the delights of Paradise and is understood by many lexicographers as a thorny desert tree, commonly identified with acacia; some exegetes read it as “banana tree.” As a given name, Talha carries the sense of a flourishing or fruit-bearing tree, evoking shade and vitality.

The name gained enduring esteem through Talha ibn Ubayd Allah, a Companion of the Prophet and one of the Ten Promised Paradise, renowned for valor at Uhud. It remains popular across the Arab world, Turkey, South Asia, and the Balkans. Common variants and transliterations include Ṭalḥa, Talhah, and Talhaa; in Urdu it appears as طلحہ. Pronounced TAL-ha in English and Turkish, the Arabic features an emphatic ḥ sound. Occurs as both a given name and, less often, a family name.
