What is the meaning of the name Charuh ?

Charuh is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Charuh (pronounced CHAA-roo; Sanskrit चारुः, cāruḥ) stems from the adjective cāru, meaning “beautiful, lovely, graceful, pleasing.” The final -h represents the visarga in classical Sanskrit, marking the nominative masculine form; in everyday use the h is often dropped, yielding Charu.

As a given name in South Asia (India, Nepal) it is rare on its own but well attested in literature and in compounds such as Charudatta (“beautifully given”) and Charulata (“beautiful creeper/vine”). The root occurs in Vedic hymns and in classical poetry - including works of Kālidāsa - where cāru praises radiant forms, voices, and deeds. Variants and related forms include Charu/Chaaru, Charumati/Charumathi, Charulekha, and Charudatt. The name carries nuances of charm, elegance, and sweetness, and is considered unisex in many modern contexts, though Charuh specifically skews masculine.
