Assalamualaikum. I wanted to confirm if minha really means gift from Allah.is it an arabic word? Because i have read somewhere it means 'my' or 'mine'.please can you confirm the origin if possible and is it in quran? Also, what is the meaning of female name 'Mehmil'? Can we use this name?
Answer
Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,
Yes, Minha really means "gift from Allah". What you have read about is a different word spelled منها, while the name Minha is spelled مِنْحَة, they are two completely different words, though they sound the same due to the fact that English doesn't have some of the letters of the Arabic alphabet.
Mehmil was the name of a 1972 Hindi film, and the word means "love" in Hindi and possibly Urdu from what I can find. I do not know of Mehmil's origin--whether it is Islamic or not--but since it doesn't have a bad meaning, Muslims can use this name.

you are wrong word منھا has come many times in Quran and meaning is not gift of God or اللہ کا تحفہ
the real meaning is دینا، عطا کرنا
Yaqooloona lain rajaAAna ila almadeenati layukhrijanna alaAAazzu minha alathalla walillahi alAAizzatu walirasoolihi walilmumineena walakinna almunafiqeena la yaAAlamoona
(سورة المنافقون, Al-Munaafiqoon, Chapter #63, Verse #8)
AAasa rabbuna an yubdilana khayran minha inna ila rabbina raghiboona
(سورة القلم, Al-Qalam, Chapter #68, Verse #32)
to be exact word منھا is in Quran 96 times in 85 verses
i have just mentioned two and it is منھا not منحہ
now coming to منحہ the english spellings are Munha not Minha it was name of Mamoon’s daughter in era of Imam ahmed bin hambel and its meaning is also not Gift of god it is احتساب،اور کچھ جگہ عنایت کرنا یا عطا کرنا ہیں
