The modern meaning of Nuha is wisdom. The fact that it is also the name of a goddess does not make the name a bad name. For more information please see this answer about Nayla, which is also a goddess name that was used as a name by many Sahabiyaat: Is Nayla not a good name for a girl? Does it refer to a false god?
