As a personal name it conveys “one whose being is truth, consciousness, and bliss,” or “he who abides in spiritual beatitude.”

Used in India since classical and medieval devotional and monastic traditions, it is common as an honorific or monastic name and, more rarely, as a household given name. Notable bearers include Swami Satchidananda (1914–2002), founder of Integral Yoga, and poet Agyeya (Sachchidananda H. Vatsyayan). Variants: Saccidananda, Sachchidananda, Satchidananda, Sachidananda, Satcitananda; shorter forms Sachidanand/Satchidanand and related Chidananda, Anand. Predominantly masculine; found across Hindu communities and the diaspora.
