Sumukhi meaning
Sumukhi (सुमुखी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A fair-faced, handsome woman; an Apsaras in the Mahābhārata
Also used to mean: beautiful face, very beautiful
Sumukhi (सुमुखी) is the feminine of Sanskrit sumukha, formed from su, "beautiful, good", and mukha, "face, mouth". Monier-Williams glosses sumukha as fair-faced and handsome, and also as bright-faced, cheerful and glad. The feminine sumukhī is a handsome woman, the name of an Apsaras in the Mahābhārata and Harivaṃśa, a mirror, and a mode in music. Name lists give "beautiful face" or "very beautiful", matching the dictionary. The name is used mainly in Karnataka and Maharashtra; the actor and comedian Sumukhi Suresh is a well-known bearer.
