Sudhakar meaning
Sudhakar (सुधाकर) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
A mine or store of nectar; the moon
Sudhakar (सुधाकर) is Sanskrit sudhākara, from sudhā, "nectar", and ākara, "mine, store". Monier-Williams gives it as a mine or receptacle of nectar and, from that, the moon, which Indian poets pictured as a vessel of amṛta, the nectar of the gods; it also notes several books and authors of the name. Name lists give Sudhakar as "moon" or "store of nectar", matching the dictionary. It is used across India.
