What is the meaning of the name Suchitra ?

The baby name Suchitra is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced soo-CHIT-rah.

Suchitra is Sanskrit, Thai in Origin.

Suchitra is a feminine Sanskrit name, written सुचित्रा in Devanagari and more precisely transliterated Sucitrā. Its earliest recoverable form is the Sanskrit adjective su-citra-, with feminine ending -ā. The prefix su- conveys good, well, or excellent, while citra denotes bright, variegated, remarkable, or a picture; as a name, Suchitra is best read as well-formed, brightly adorned, or beautiful picture.

The name belongs to the Sanskritic naming stock used across India, especially among Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Odia, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam speakers, with Thai Sujitra and Suchittra reflecting older Indic influence in mainland Southeast Asia. Public bearers include Bengali actress Suchitra Sen and Rabindra Sangeet exponent Suchitra Mitra. Spellings such as Suchithra and Sucitra follow regional pronunciation or scholarly transliteration rather than separate etymologies.
