Satha is Khmer in Origin.

Satha is a multicultural given name with more than one credible origin. In Arabic contexts it aligns with Shatha (شذى), a feminine name meaning “fragrance” or “the waft of perfume,” celebrated in classical poetry for evoking the scent of musk and blossoms. Modern spellings vary across Latinization, yielding Shatha, Shada, and Shaza; Satha appears where the sh-/s- contrast is softened in local usage. The name is used across the Levant and Gulf and among diasporic communities.

In South and Southeast Asia, Satha can be linked to Sanskrit roots: śata (“hundred,” symbolizing abundance) and satya (“truth”), the latter especially resonant in Indian languages where related forms include Satya and Sathya. It also occurs as a clipped or independent element from compounds (e.g., Sathasivam) and is found in Sri Lankan and Cambodian naming. Variants and near-forms include Shatha, Shada, Shaza, Sattha, Sathaa, Satya, and Sathya.
