Sukhamoy as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Sukhamoy

What is the meaning of the name Sukhamoy ?

The baby name Sukhamoy is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced sook-HAH-moy (IPA: /su.kʰa.mɔj/).

Sukhamoy is Bengali, Sanskrit in Origin.

Rooted in Sanskrit sukha “happiness, ease” + the adjectival suffix -maya “consisting of, full of,” Sukhamoy is the eastern Indo-Aryan form where -maya becomes -moy in Bengali-Assamese phonology. It thus signifies “full of happiness,” “blissful,” or “joy-bringing.” The name is used chiefly in Bengal, Assam, and Tripura, typically as a masculine given name among Hindu families, and reflects the late 19th–20th‑century Bengali preference for virtue-based Sanskritic compounds.

Spelling variants include Sukhmoy and Sukhmoy; the more Sanskritic form is Sukhamaya (Skt. सुखमय), with a feminine counterpart Sukhamayi (सुखमयी). In Hindi orthography one may see Sukhmay. In Bengali script it appears as সুখময়. Notable bearer: economist Sukhamoy Chakravarty (1934–1990), whose prominence helped keep the name visible in modern India. Diminutives such as Moy or Sukh occur in informal address.
