Genda is Hindi in Origin.
Genda is a Hindi and Urdu given name meaning “marigold,” the bright, round Tagetes flower widely used in South Asian garlands, weddings, and temple offerings. The name carries connotations of auspiciousness, joy, and devotion. Documented across North India from the late 19th century onward, it appears for girls on its own (e.g., Genda Devi) and for boys in compounds such as Genda Lal or Genda Ram, making it effectively unisex in traditional usage.
Linguistically, Genda belongs to the Indo‑Aryan family; its form aligns with a regional word for the flower and is often associated with the blossom’s ball-like shape. Common renderings include Genda and the scholarly transliteration Gendā; compound variants (Genda Devi, Genda Lal) are frequent. Related regional terms for the marigold include Marathi Zendu. Not to be confused with the unrelated Japanese surname Genda, which has different origins and meanings.
