What is the meaning of the name Sat ?

The baby name Sat is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /sət/ or /sʌt/ (approx. "sut").

Sat is Punjabi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Sat is a unisex given name from Sanskrit sat (सत्), meaning “truth,” “being,” “real,” and by extension “good” or “virtuous.” The word is foundational in Indian philosophy (as in sat–cit–ananda, “being–consciousness–bliss”) and central in Sikh theology, echoed in phrases like Sat Nam (“True Name”). As an independent given name, Sat is rare but attested in North India and across the South Asian diaspora; it is more commonly the first element in compounds such as Satnam, Satish, Satyam, Satyendra, Satpal, and Satbir, and is sometimes chosen as a concise spiritual name.

Variants and related forms include the transliteration Sath in some South Indian contexts, as well as Satya (male and female) and Sati (feminine, with its own mythological associations). In use, Sat conveys ideals of honesty, purity, and enduring reality, giving it a succinct, contemplative character despite its brevity.
