Sukhada meaning
Sukhada (सुखदा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Giving pleasure or delight; an Apsaras; a name of the Ganges
Also used to mean: giver of joy, one who brings happiness
Sukhada (सुखदा) comes from Sanskrit sukhada, built from sukha, "happiness, ease", and da, "giving". Monier-Williams glosses it as giving pleasure or delight, and lists the feminine Sukhadā as the name of an Apsaras and as a name of the river Ganges; the masculine is also an epithet of Viṣṇu. Name lists give "giver of joy" or "one who brings happiness", the dictionary sense. The name is used mainly in Maharashtra and North India, often spelled Sukhda.
