Yah-ta-hey is a census-designated place (CDP) in McKinley County, New Mexico, United States. As of the 2000 census, the CDP population was 580. The English name for this place is an approximation of a Navajo greeting, though the actual Navajo name means "like a devil", in reference to J.B. Tanner, who operated the trading post located here; the same name is used for Aneth, Utah, where Tanner also worked.
