Sudha meaning
Sudha (सुधा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Nectar, the drink of the gods; also honey of flowers, milk
Sudha (सुधा) is the Sanskrit sudhā, which Monier-Williams explains as "good drink", the beverage of the gods, nectar. It also lists the nectar or honey of flowers, water and milk, and records Sudha as a name of the Ganges and of the earth. In Indian poetry and song sudhā stands for anything sweet and life-giving. Name lists give "nectar" or "amrit", which matches. Well-known bearers include the author and philanthropist Sudha Murty.
