Tuhin meaning
Tuhin (तुहिन) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali and Odia usage).
Frost, cold, mist, dew, snow; moonlight; camphor
Tuhin (तुहिन) is the Sanskrit tuhina, which Monier-Williams gives as frost, cold, mist, dew or snow, and also as moonlight and camphor, things that share its coolness and whiteness. Name lists give Tuhin as "snow", "frost" or "moonlight", all dictionary senses. The name is used mainly in Bengal and Odisha, where longer forms such as Tuhinanshu, a poetic name for the moon, are also used. A well-known bearer is Tuhin Kanta Pandey, the former Odisha-cadre civil servant who became chairman of the Securities and Exchange Board of India in 2025.
