Meaning & origin
Muntaha, first recorded in the United States in 2003, has been steadily rising in popularity since 2007. By 2025, it ranked 4,265th with a 1-in-48,705 birth rate, and it reached its peak rank of 3,197 in 2022. The name is concentrated most heavily in New York, reflecting its presence in Arabic-speaking communities there. Derived from a rich Islamic religious tradition, Muntaha carries a meaning of ultimate greatness and boundary, making it a culturally resonant choice for families seeking a name with deep significance.
Muntaha derives from the Arabic root n-t-h (ن ت ه), meaning 'to end' or 'to reach the limit.' It is a feminine form of the adjective meaning 'final' or 'extreme,' often used in religious contexts to denote the ultimate limit of something, such as in the phrase 'Sidrat al-Muntaha,' the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary in Islamic tradition. The name has been used in Arabic-speaking communities for centuries, though its adoption in the United States is relatively recent.
