What is the meaning of the name Sneh ?

The baby name Sneh is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /sneː/ or /sneɪ/ (approx. "sneh" — sounds like "snay").

Sneh is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Sneh is a unisex Indian given name from Sanskrit sneha (स्नेह), meaning affection, tenderness, and warm attachment; in classical usage it can also denote oil, a metaphor for soothing closeness. The name appears across Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Punjabi, and Nepali, often as a concise form of Sneha or as an independent virtue name. Usage skews male in parts of North and West India, yet remains broadly unisex, and it rose in the late 20th century with the trend toward short, simple names.

Related forms include Sneha (feminine), Snehal (unisex, "affectionate/friendly"), Snehil (m), Snehit/Snehith (m, "beloved friend"), and Snehitha (f). Contemporary coinages such as Snehansh ("part of love") also circulate. Nicknames and affectionate calls include Sneh and Snehi. The term sneha pervades Sanskrit literature and Bhakti poetry to signify gentle, compassionate love, so the name often conveys a wish for kindness, loyalty, and emotional warmth.
