Altha Origin and Meaning
The name Altha is a girl's name.
Altha is a rare feminine name with ancient Greek origins. It likely derives from the Greek word 'althos,' meaning 'healing,' or could be a variation of Althea, which comes from 'althein' meaning 'to heal' in Greek mythology. Althea was the mother who inadvertently caused her son Meleager's death. Altha was moderately used in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but has become increasingly uncommon since then. The name carries a vintage charm with its soft sound and healing associations. Its brevity and classical roots might appeal to parents seeking a simple yet uncommon name with historical depth.
