Talha is an Arabic name for boys that refers to a type of tree, often considered to be a banana tree. While Talha is not mentioned in the Quran, its plural Talh is mentioned in verse 56:29, therefore Talha can be considered an indirect Quranic name. Talha is the name of many companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah upon him and his companions), such as Talha bin Malik, Talha bin Abi Qatadah and Talha bin Abdullah bin Auf.
