Meaning & origin
Suda is an exceedingly rare name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1890, the same year it reached its peak usage. It has never ranked among the top 1000 names, and its trajectory has been stable with virtually no modern revival. The name's origins remain obscure; it may be a creative American coinage or a diminutive form of an older name. In the 1890s, it was given to a handful of girls, but it has since fallen into near obscurity, with no significant presence in any state. Its rarity makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon name with a vintage feel.
Suda first appeared in U.S. records in the 1890s, but its origins are unclear. It may be an American coinage or a variant of the Sanskrit name Suda, meaning 'arrow' or 'weapon', though the connection is speculative. Given its rarity, it is likely a modern invention or a diminutive form.
