Swarada meaning
Swarada (स्वरदा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (modern Marathi usage).
Giver of musical notes (svara 'note, tone' + -dā 'giving')
Also used to mean: melodious
Swarada (स्वरदा) is a modern Marathi girls' name from music. Its first part is Sanskrit svara, which Monier-Williams gives as sound, voice, tone and, above all, a musical note of the scale; its ending -dā means "giving" or "granting", as in Varada, "granting boons". The compound is not in the dictionary, so the sense "giver of melody" comes from its parts. Name lists give it as "musical" or "melodious". It belongs with other Marathi names built on svara, such as Swara and Swarali.
