Suguna meaning
Suguna (सुगुणा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Very virtuous or excellent
Also used to mean: good qualities
Suguna (सुगुणा) is the feminine of Sanskrit suguṇa, from su, "good", and guṇa, "quality, virtue". Monier-Williams glosses it as very virtuous or excellent, with a feminine in -ā. Name lists give "good qualities" or "virtuous", which match the dictionary. The name is used chiefly in South India, among Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam families. It is a different word from Saguna, "with qualities", a term in Hindu philosophy for God with form and attributes.
