What is the meaning of the name Satya ?

The baby name Satya is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SUT-yuh (approx.; IPA: /ˈsət.jə/).

Satya is Sanskrit in Origin.

Satya is a unisex given name from Sanskrit satya (सत्य), meaning “truth,” “reality,” or “veracity.” Central to Vedic and Upanishadic thought, Satya names a cardinal virtue in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain ethics and the yama of truthfulness in the Yoga Sūtras. The concept shaped South Asian history through Gandhi’s satyagraha (“truth-force”), reinforcing the name’s moral resonance.

Used since classical India and attested across regions, Satya appears on its own or in compounds: Satyadev, Satyam, Satyendra/Satyen, Satyajit, Satyavati, and Satyanarayana. Regional and linguistic variants include Sathya (Dravidian transliteration) and the classical feminine Satyā; Sanskritization in Southeast Asia yields Javanese/Indonesian Setya or Setia with a sense of faithfulness. Contemporary bearers include Satya Nadella. The name conveys ideals of integrity, reliability, and fidelity, and is chosen for children of any gender in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain communities and the global diaspora.
