Siddh
A boy's name of Sanskrit origin with 113 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Siddh reads as a modern invention — a name that emerged in the 2000s and was likely coined by parents looking for something fresh rather than inherited.
The sharp, distinct quality of its ending — ending on a consonant gives it a firm, clear close — keeps the name compact and easy to pair with longer middle names or surnames.
In the most recent SSA release, Siddh ranks #10719 among U.S. boy names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Siddh is a boy's baby name of Sanskrit origin, a short form of Siddha, meaning 'perfected' or 'accomplished,' from the Sanskrit siddha — one who has achieved spiritual perfection through practice. In Hindu and Jain traditions, a siddha is an enlightened being who has transcended the cycle of rebirth.
Siddh carries the aspiration of a fully realized spiritual life — a name that sets a remarkably high bar, inviting its bearer toward the kind of excellence that transforms not just the self, but the world.
EtymologyShow more
Siddh appeared in SSA records in 2002, placing it in the modern era of American naming — a period when parents increasingly draw from global cultures, invent new names, and blend sounds to create something entirely original. Its Sanskrit roots may have been the starting point, adapted or respelled to fit contemporary American tastes.
With only 113 recorded births, Siddh has not been widely studied in naming literature — its story belongs primarily to the families who chose it.
