Mahlah Origin and Meaning

The name Mahlah is a girl's name meaning "weak, sick; dance".

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.

Many sources give the meaning of Mahlah as weak, sick, or diseased, not an appealing image, but others say it means dance.
