      Meaning

      Sickness

      Variations

      Maralah, Mahala, Mahlah
      The name Mahalah traces its origins back to ancient Hebrew language and carries the meaning of Sickness. This name has a significant historical and cultural significance. In the context of biblical narratives, Mahalah is mentioned as a female character in the book of Numbers. However, it is important to note that the name Mahalah's references in ancient texts are relatively scarce.

      In modern-day usage, the name Mahalah is not commonly found, as it may carry undesirable connotations due to its association with sickness. Parents often opt for names with more positive or aspirational meanings for their children. As a result, the usage of the name Mahalah has become increasingly rare, with parents seeking names that convey virtues such as strength, beauty, or intelligence.
