Does anyone know what the meanig of amitahba is?
Dear Rachel,
I think you mean "amitabha" not "amitahba". "Amitabha" is an Indian word not a Chinese word so you should probably check out an Indian language site.
Do a search on a search engine for "amitahba".
According to my old Chinese Buddhism university textbook, Buddhism In China: A Historical Survey by Kenneth K. S. Ch'en, "amitabha" means "infinite light".
