Taha
/T-AA-HH-AA/
Taha (طه) is one of the mysterious isolated letters (huruf muqatta'at) that open Surah 20 of the Quran, whose precise meaning God alone is said to know — various interpretations have been offered across Islamic scholarship, including O man (addressing the Prophet), or a combination of letters with symbolic value beyond human decoding. Because of this Quranic origin, the name is carried as a mark of reverence, and its beauty is held to rest in its mystery rather than a fixed gloss.
