Santah is in Origin.

Santah blends two etymological streams. In South Asian linguistics, it aligns with Sanskrit śāntaḥ, “peaceful, serene,” from the root śam, and with the North Indian honorific sant, “saint, holy person.” In Romance languages, the base form Santa denotes “holy/saint” (feminine), a given name in Italian/Spanish and a common Latvian name. Adding the final -h creates a distinctive modern styling while keeping the core sense of holiness and calm.

As a given name, Santah is rare and mostly contemporary, used across cultures as a unisex choice. Variant and related forms include Santa, Santo, Santi, Sant, Shanta/Shantaḥ, Shanti, Santosh/Santosha, and Latvian Santa. Meanings cluster around “saintly; holy; peaceful; tranquil.” Pronounced SAN-tah or SAHN-tuh, the -h is silent. Parents may favor Santah for its cross-cultural resonance and for soft virtues of serenity and goodness.
