What is the meaning of the name Siddharth ?

The baby name Siddharth is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /sɪd̪.d̪ʱaːrt̪ʰ/.

Siddharth is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Siddharth is a modern Indo-Aryan shortening of Sanskrit Siddhārtha, written सिद्धार्थ, the classical form behind the name. It is a compound of siddha, accomplished or perfected, from the verbal root sidh, to succeed or attain, and artha, aim, purpose, or object. Its literal sense is one whose aim has been accomplished, often shortened in name glosses to successful or fulfilled in purpose.

The form is best known from Siddhārtha Gautama, the Buddha, called Siddhattha Gotama in Pali Buddhist sources. In South Asian naming it circulates mainly among Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains; Jain tradition also preserves Siddhartha as the name of Mahavira’s father. Modern Indian usage favors Siddharth and Sidharth, while Siddhartha remains closer to the Sanskrit stem and is more common in religious, literary, and academic contexts.
