What is the meaning of the name Gudda ?

The baby name Gudda is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced GUD-da (IPA: /ˈɡʊd.də/) — 'good' + 'duh'.

Gudda is Hindi, Punjabi in Origin.

Gudda is a male given name and affectionate byname rooted in North Indian and Pakistani Indo‑Aryan languages, especially Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu. In these languages, gudda literally denotes a “boy-doll” or toy figure and, by extension, functions as a pet name for a cherished little boy. Many household nicknames in the region later become official first names, so Gudda appears as an independent given name in modern records and within diaspora communities.

Variants and related forms include Guddu (a very common diminutive), Guda, and the feminine counterparts Guddi and Gudiya; the pair “Gudda & Guddi” is familiar in Punjabi‑Hindi folk speech. Less commonly, the spelling Guddah appears in English transcription. An unrelated homonym in Kannada and Tulu means “hill” and occurs in place names (–gudda), occasionally inspiring rustic‑styled usage. Overall, the name carries an endearing sense: playful, tender, and “little doll.”
