What is the meaning of the name Mega ?

The baby name Mega is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈmɛɡə/ (MEH-gah).

Mega is Indonesian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Mega is a multicultural given name with two principal roots. In Greek, it echoes the adjective megas “great, mighty,” familiar from the scientific prefix mega-. In South and Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, it reflects Sanskrit megha “cloud,” symbolizing monsoon rain, fertility, and abundance. The name functions as unisex, though more often feminine in Indonesia.

As a personal name, Mega is uncommon in the Greek sphere but rose to visibility in Indonesia in the late 20th century, helped by figures such as Megawati Sukarnoputri, for whom Mega serves as a short form. In India, the closely related Megha is widespread, and Mega appears as a streamlined spelling. In English-speaking contexts it can be an independent modern choice or a playful elaboration of Meg/Megan (from Margaret). Variants and relatives include Megha, Megawati, Megan, Meg, and the Greek honorific Megas; the core meanings range from “great” to “rain cloud.”
