Megh is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Megh is an Indian given name derived from Sanskrit megha (मेघ), meaning “cloud” or “rain-bearing cloud.” It appears across Indo‑Aryan languages - Hindi, Bengali (মেঘ), Marathi, and Nepali - and is used chiefly for boys, though sometimes unisex in modern urban use. The name carries monsoon imagery of renewal, fecundity, and protective shade, celebrated in classical literature such as Kālidāsa’s Meghadūta (“Cloud Messenger”) and echoed in Hindustani music through Raga Megh/Megh Malhar, associated with invoking rain.
Related forms include the feminine Megha and Meghna/Meghana; compound names like Meghraj (“king of clouds”) and Meghnad/Meghanada (“roar of thunder,” a Ramayana epithet) share the same root. As a given name, Megh suggests calm depth and life‑giving presence, making it a concise, nature‑anchored choice with deep cultural resonance.
