Irha meaning
Irha (ارحا) is a Muslim and international girl's name.
Meaning today
Calm, serene
In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Irha (ارحا) is a modern name used by Muslim families in Pakistan and India. It is not found as a word in Arabic dictionaries. Name lists give it as "calm" or "serene" and link it to the Arabic root r-h-w. Lane's lexicon gives rahw as an easy, gentle pace or stillness, as when Musa is told to leave the sea "calm" (Quran 44:24), and records arhi ʿalā nafsika, "be gentle with yourself". The connection is plausible but unproven, so we list the name as having no dictionary source.
