What People Usually Mean by This Name
From the Arabic نهى (nuha), intellect, reason, discernment, the plural of nuhya. The word is used twice in the Quran, both in Surah Ta-Ha (20:54 and 20:128), where Allah gives signs for those of understanding (li-uli al-nuha).
In classical Arabic nuha is the intelligence that keeps one from crossing the boundary between right and wrong: the reason that restrains. It is the same faculty that lets the believer read a sign and know what it means.
Noha is a widely used Egyptian and Levantine girls' name. It asks that a daughter be given the intellect that is inseparable from moral clarity.
