Names Ending in H for Girls

  1. Azubah
    • Origin:

      Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "desolation"
    • Description:

      Azubah is one of those unique baby names from the Bible that is both uncommon and usable, especially given that trendy letter Z in the middle. Azubah's sad meaning may be a strike against it. There were two figures named Azubah in the Bible, one the wife of Caleb and the other the mother of Jehoshaphat (as in Jumping).
  2. Mahlah
    • Origin:

      Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "weak, sick; dance"
    • Description:

      In the Bible, Mahlah was one of five daughters of Zelophehad. The others were Noa, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. Noa is popular, Tirzah is sometimes used, and Mahlah has a much better chance of modern revival than Hoglah.
