Soumyah is a modern spelling of the Indian given name Soumya/Saumya, from Sanskrit saumya, meaning “gentle, mild, auspicious,” and also “lunar” or “of Soma,” the Vedic moon deity. In classical Sanskrit the word functions as an epithet for benevolent qualities and for figures linked to the lunar lineage, and it appears in astrological vocabulary. As a personal name it conveys softness and kindness, and is used for all genders in South Asia.

Usage spans many Indian languages, with popularity for girls since the late twentieth century while remaining unisex. Common variants include Saumya, Soumya, and Somya; extended transliterations such as Soumiyah or Saumiya also occur. The final -h in Soumyah is generally stylistic in diaspora contexts and can prompt confusion with the Arabic name Sumayyah (meaning “exalted, high”), which is etymologically unrelated.
