Meaning and origin of Taher
Taher is how people in Iran, Egypt and the Levant usually spell Ṭāhir, a choice that reflects how they pronounce its short vowel. From the root ṭ-h-r, the name means pure and upright, in the sense of both ritual cleanliness and good character. Iranians use this spelling, and its feminine form, Tahereh, is a common girl's name there too, so brother and sister names often pair up.
