It is named "Ṭā Hā" because the chapter starts with the Arabic ḥurūf muqaṭṭaʿāt (disjoined letters) (Ṭāhā), which is widely mistaken to be one of the names of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, but is just one of the many unlinked letters at the beginning of many other surahs of the Quran.
AI overview
"Ta-Ha" is the 20th chapter of the Qur'an, containing 135 verses and named after the disjoined Arabic letters that begin it. Though often mistaken for one of the Prophet Muhammad's names, these opening letters are actually a stylistic feature that appears at the beginning of many chapters throughout the Qur'an.

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is traditionally believed to be a Meccan surah, from the second Meccan period (615-619), which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, rather than later in Medina.
