Talhah is Arabic in Origin.

Talhah (Arabic: طَلْحَة, Ṭalḥah) is a masculine Arabic given name from ṭalḥ, a term for a large tree cited in the Qur’an (56:29). Classical lexicons identify it with the acacia or a luxuriant desert tree, while many modern translators render it “banana tree”; in either reading, it connotes shade, abundance, and generosity. Despite ending with tāʾ marbūṭa (-ah), Talhah functions as a masculine proper name in Arabic, like Hamzah and Usāmah.

Its enduring appeal stems from Talhah ibn ʿUbayd Allāh, an eminent Companion of the Prophet Muhammad, famed for courage at Uhud and generosity, and counted among the “Ten Promised Paradise.” Usage spread from Arabia through the Persianate and Ottoman spheres and remains common across the Muslim world. Variants and transliterations include Talha (widely used in Turkish and Urdu contexts) and the academic form Ṭalḥa; spellings with or without the final -h are both standard.
