Meaning & origin

Suhas first appeared in US Social Security records in 1993. While it has never ranked in the top 1000, its usage peaked in 2009. Since 2008, the name's frequency has been declining in the United States. Suhas remains a distinctive choice, rooted in Sanskrit tradition, and is most often chosen by families with South Asian heritage.

Suhas is a masculine name derived from the Sanskrit elements su (good) and has (smile or laughter), literally meaning 'good smile' or 'pleasant disposition'. The name has been used in India for centuries, especially in Hindu families, and appears in classical Sanskrit literature. Its usage has spread among Indian diaspora communities worldwide.
