Create new file with spaces from argument BASH

Question

I need to create new file which contains spaces in it. And it is passed through the argument. This code below creates 2 sepate files. How to create 1 file which will contains space?

touch ""$meno""

Stop over-thinking the problem. `touch "$meno"` will do just fine. — roaima, Mar 28 '15 at 23:13
