Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
“Minha” is an Arabic name for girls that means gift.[1]
“Minha” is written as مِنْحَة in Arabic.
 
“Manha” means “goal”, “objective”, “direction”, “path”, “road”, “way of life”.[2]
“Manha” is written as مَنْحَى in Arabic.
 
You can select any name for your daughter you wish to, hence, the names “Minha”, “and “Manha” are suitable.
