Meaning & origin

Siddh is a rare but spiritually potent choice for modern parents. The name has been recorded on U.S. birth certificates only since 2002, and its popularity peaked in 2015, though it remains very uncommon. In 2023, it ranked 10,695th, given to roughly 1 in 284,679 boys, reflecting a rising trajectory since 2022. Its brevity and deep philosophical roots give it a distinctive appeal, crossing easily between Indian and Western contexts.

Siddh is a masculine name derived from the Sanskrit root 'sidh', meaning 'to accomplish' or 'to be perfected'. In Indian religions, a Siddha is a being who has achieved spiritual perfection, and Siddhartha ('one who has accomplished a goal') was the given name of Gautama Buddha before his enlightenment. The name has been used in Hindu and Buddhist contexts for millennia, and in modern times remains popular among Indian families, especially those seeking a concise, spiritually resonant name.
