Aasalamualaikum,
I wanted to know accurate meaning of the word “Nuha” and if it is a good name for baby girl.
So far I got conflicting meanings, one it means Intelligent/Wisdom and another It means the artificial wailing done at the time of someones demise.
Jazakallah Khair

Noha (نوحہ) means to yell, cry or beat ones self upon someone’s demise. The letters which construct this name are ن، و and ح. According to the Shar’ai teachings, it is abhorrent to name someone with such a name.
One of the possible meanings of Nuha (نہیٰ) is intellect. The letters which construct this name are ن، ہا and ی, and is a name which can be given to a baby girl.
فقط واللہ اعلم بالصواب
