Soumyya is Sanskrit in Origin.
Soumyya is a modern orthographic variant of the Sanskrit name Saumya, from Sanskrit saumya (सौम्य) meaning “gentle, mild, auspicious; moon-like,” ultimately from Soma “moon” + the suffix -ya “pertaining to.” In classical literature it functions as an epithet for benevolence and serenity and as a patronymic “of Soma,” an epithet of the planet Budha (Mercury).
As a given name it appears in medieval and modern Indian naming, widespread in South India (Kannada/Telugu/Malayalam forms Sowmya/Soumya) and gaining pan-Indian popularity since the late 20th century. It is unisex, though today more common for girls; masculine usage persists in Sanskritic and Bengali contexts. Variants include Saumya, Soumya, Sowmya, Somya, Saumyaa/Soumyaa; related but distinct are Saumeya/Saumeya and the Arabic Sumayya/Sumaiya (different etymology). The spelling Soumyya doubles the y to signal two syllables (sou-my-ya) in Roman script.
