Suvarchala meaning
Suvarchala (सुवर्चला) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
The wife of the Sun; also the rue plant and linseed
Also used to mean: glorious, consort of surya
Suvarchala (सुवर्चला) is the Sanskrit suvarcalā, related to suvarcas, which Monier-Williams glosses as full of life or vigour, fiery, splendid and glorious. Monier-Williams lists Suvarcalā as the wife of the Sun in the Mahābhārata and Rāmāyaṇa, and also as the name of plants such as rue and linseed. In Telugu devotional tradition, based on the Parāśara Saṃhitā, Suvarcalā is the Sun's daughter and the wife of Hanumān, and their wedding is celebrated at temples in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Name lists give "glorious" or "consort of Surya". The name is used mainly by Telugu families.
