Nuha

• Origin: Arabic نهى
• Meaning: “mind; wisdom; reason; intelligence.”
• Gender: feminine
• (NOO-hah)

The name comes from the Arabic meaning “mind; wisdom” or “the ability to think.” It appears in pre-Islamic North Arabia as the name of a goddess associated with the sun, her South Arabic counterpart being Shams. It has been suggested by some scholars that her name is linked with the Semitic root N-H-Y meaning “the ultimate.”

In Islam, the word appears in a few verses of the Quran, verse 20:54 and verse 20:128.

Other transliterations include: Noha, Nohaa, Nouha & Nuhaa.
