Soumil
A boy's name of Sanskrit origin with 59 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Only 59 babies have been named Soumil in recorded U.S. history. That level of rarity means your child would almost certainly be the only one in their school, their workplace, and most rooms they walk into — a genuinely one-of-a-kind choice.
Soumil is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Soumil is a boy's baby name of Sanskrit origin, derived from the Sanskrit elements meaning 'kind' or 'friendly' — related to the Sanskrit su (good, well) and mil (to meet, to mix). The name carries connotations of gentle sociability and warm-hearted nature.
Soumil is a quietly lovely name from Indian tradition — short, positive, and carrying a meaning that speaks directly to the kind of person any parent would hope to raise.
EtymologyShow more
Soumil first shows up in U.S. Social Security records in 2000. First appearing in the 2000s, Soumil emerged during a period of rapid naming innovation in America, when parents increasingly created new names or adopted them from global cultures.
Its Sanskrit classification suggests a path from sanskrit linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
