Sucharita meaning
Sucharita (सुचरिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Well-conducted, virtuous; a virtuous or faithful wife
Also used to mean: of good character
Sucharita (सुचरिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit sucarita, from su, "good", and carita, "conduct, behaviour". Monier-Williams glosses sucarita as well-conducted, moral and virtuous, and as a noun for good conduct and virtuous actions; the feminine sucaritā is a virtuous or faithful wife. Name lists give "of good character", matching the dictionary. The name is used in Bengal, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, where Sucharitha is the usual spelling. Sucharita is also the heroine of Rabindranath Tagore's novel Gora.
