Maletha is a unique and melodic female given name of African origin, specifically from the Igbo ethnic group of Nigeria. It's composed of two elements: "Mala" meaning "to observe or to watch," and "Etha" meaning "good fortune." Thus, Maletha translates to "good fortune observed," suggesting the bearer is fortunate to be noticed or given attention. This name is often found in Igbo communities but has also gained recognition beyond Africa, adding a touch of exoticism and charm to its bearers.
"Maletha was a popular baby girl name in 1967 with six births recorded that year."
