Sneha is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Sneha is a modern feminine name built on Sanskrit स्नेह sneha, a noun attested in Sanskrit with the literal sense of oiliness, unctuous moisture, and, by semantic extension, affection or attachment. The word is formed from the verbal root √snih, to be sticky, adhere, or feel fondness, with the nominal suffix -a; the Indian given name usually reflects the long-vowel feminine spelling स्नेहा Snehā.
As a personal name, Sneha belongs chiefly to Hindu naming practice in India and Nepal, with use across Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and other language communities. Its vocabulary sense made it natural in devotional and philosophical contexts, where sneha can denote affection, devotion, or binding attachment. Related forms include Sneh, Snehal, and Snehil. In the United States, Social Security data records the name from 1980, with a small immigrant-community peak around 2002 rather than broad national adoption.
