Sukhada (सुखद, IAST: Sukhada) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Bestower of happiness and joy”. From sukha (happiness, ease, joy) and da (giver, bestower), this luminous name affirms Viṣṇu as the ultimate source of all genuine happiness in the universe.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Sukha literally means 'having a good axle-hole,' an ancient Vedic metaphor for a chariot running smoothly — thus denoting ease, comfort, and joy. Da comes from the root dā, to give. As Sukhada, Viṣṇu is the inexhaustible fountain of ānanda, granting not merely worldly pleasures but the supreme bliss of liberation to those who seek refuge in him. This name is warm, devotional, and expressive of the Lord's boundless generosity.
Sukhada is an epithet of Viṣṇu found in the Sahasranāma and is also used as a given name for boys. Pronounced soo-khuh-duh, simple and melodious in any Indian language.
Scriptural source
Sukhada appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
