What is the meaning of the name Soumyaa ?

Soumyaa is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Soumyaa is a modern transliteration of the Sanskrit name Saumya (सौम्य), from soma “moon” + the adjectival suffix -ya “pertaining to,” meaning “moonlike,” “gentle,” “mild,” and “auspicious.” In Hindu usage it functions as an epithet of Chandra, the Moon, and by extension denotes a serene, benevolent disposition; it can also describe the gracious aspects of deities such as Shiva and Parvati. The name is unisex, though in contemporary practice it leans feminine in parts of South India.

As a personal name it rose to wider use in the late 20th century, drawing on classical Sanskrit literature where saumya marks calmness and favor. Variant spellings include Saumya (standard), Soumya and Sowmya (South Indian transliterations), and Somya (Hindi simplification). The doubled-vowel Soumyaa is a modern stylistic or numerological variant that emphasizes a long final “-aa” in English spelling. Related forms appear across Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, and Nepali naming traditions.
