daha

Daha is a term with multiple uses in different languages and contexts. In Turkish and Azerbaijani, daha is a grammatical particle meaning "more" or "additional." It is used to form comparative constructions and to intensify descriptors, as in daha hızlı (faster) or daha çok (more). The word is common in everyday speech, media, and literature, and its meaning shifts with sentence structure and negation.

Daha also appears as a place-name element in toponyms across regions where Turkish, Azerbaijani, and related linguistic influences are present. Specific locales bearing the name are documented in various countries, though the precise origin and meaning of each instance depend on local language and historical usage. In these cases, daha functions as a proper noun rather than a degree word.

In addition to linguistic and toponymic uses, daha can occur as a surname or as part of personal names in some communities, though it is not widely used as a given name. Because the term has distinct meanings depending on context, readers should rely on surrounding information to determine whether it is being used as a degree word or as a proper noun.
