Moksha

Meaning of Moksha

Moksha is a beautiful and spiritually significant name of Sanskrit origin, predominantly used for females. Pronounced as MOHK-shah (/ˈmoʊkʃə/), the name Moksha carries profound meaning, translating to "liberation" or "release" in Hindu philosophy. It signifies the ultimate goal of life, which is to achieve freedom from the cycle of birth and rebirth (samsara) and attain a state of eternal bliss and enlightenment. This deeply philosophical association makes it a meaningful choice for parents who value spiritual depth.

Variations of this name include Moksh and Mokshika, offering slight alternatives while maintaining the core essence. Though not overly common in the United States, Moksha has seen a steady presence over the years, with occurrences ranging from 5 to 28 newborns annually since 2005. Its unique sound and profound significance make it an appealing choice for those seeking a name that embodies both beauty and depth.
