Sargam meaning
Sargam (सरगम) is a Hindu girl's name of Hindi origin (from Sanskrit sa-ri-ga-ma).
The gamut; the musical scale; sol-fa, solmization
Also used to mean: musical notes, melody
Sargam (सरगम) is the Hindi word for the Indian musical scale, made from the names of its first notes: sa, re (ri), ga and ma. Platts's 1884 dictionary gives it as the gamut, the descending scale, and sol-fa or solmization, the practice of singing a melody by its note names. Musicians still speak of singing sargam in Hindustani and Carnatic music. Name lists give Sargam as "musical notes" or "melody", which matches the word's everyday sense. It is a modern, musical name, used mostly for girls in North India.
