Sudh is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Sudh is a short Indo‑Aryan given name with Sanskrit roots. As a lexical item, sudhā denotes “nectar, ambrosia,” while the related Sanskrit śuddha (shuddh) means “pure; undefiled.” In modern Hindi, sudh also carries the sense of “awareness” or “remembrance,” familiar from the phrase sudh‑budh. Taken together, the name is interpreted as purity, life‑giving sweetness, or clear awareness, making it appealing for its virtuous and luminous overtones. It is used chiefly in India and Nepal and occasionally across the South Asian diaspora.

As a forename, Sudh often began as a clipped form of longer Sanskritic names - Sudhanshu, Sudhir, Sudhakar - and came to be adopted independently in the late 20th century. Predominantly masculine but usable as unisex, it appears in spellings Sudh, Soodh, or Shudh/Shuddh (reflecting regional transliteration). Related names include Sudha (feminine), Sudhir, Sudhakar, Sudhanshu, and Shuddha.
