Sadbhav is Sanskrit in Origin.

Rooted in Sanskrit, Sadbhav (also spelled Sadhbhav; Sanskrit Sadbhava) fuses sat, "good/true," with bhava, "being, disposition." As a lexical word in Hindi, Gujarati, and Marathi, sadbhav denotes goodwill, harmony, benevolence, and right intention. As a given name, it signals a person inclined toward honest feeling and constructive relations with others.

Sadbhava occurs in classical Sanskrit philosophical and devotional texts with senses ranging from "true state" to "good nature," and this ethical coloring informs modern usage. The name has gained currency across India, especially in Gujarat and in northern and central regions that favor abstract virtue names. It is functionally unisex, though somewhat more common for boys. Variants and related forms include Sadbhava, the elongated Sadbhavana ("goodwill"), and transliterations like Sadbhaav; Bhav works as a familiar short form.
