Altah Origin and Meaning
Altah is a rare feminine name with uncertain origins, possibly representing a variant spelling of Alta, which comes from Latin meaning 'high' or 'noble.' The added 'h' gives this version a distinctive appearance and slightly altered pronunciation. Altah saw limited usage in the early 20th century in the United States but has become exceedingly rare in recent decades. The name has a simple, dignified quality with its open vowels and soft consonants. Those named Altah might find themselves explaining or spelling their name frequently due to its uncommon nature. The name's brevity and straightforward pronunciation make it accessible despite its rarity, and it carries connotations of elevation and dignity through its etymological connection to words meaning 'high.'
