Altha

Meaning of Altha

Altha unfurls like a moonlit silk banner across the landscape of names, its roots entwined with the ancient Greek Althēa—“healer”—and yet it carries a quiet echo of mist-tinged pines on a Japanese mountainside. Pronounced AL-thuh, it drifts through memory like incense smoke curling beneath paper lanterns, invoking in its syllables the soothing ritual of a tea ceremony and the soft resilience of wisteria blossoming on a wooden lattice. Though it once brushed the lips of newborns in early 20th-century Texas with modest frequency, Altha remains a rare bloom today, prized by those who seek a name both venerable and spare, a name that shelters its bearer like a shoji screen diffusing dawn’s pale light. In its cool grace and layered history, Altha beckons like a secluded garden path—inviting, restorative, and profoundly serene.
