Siva

Meaning of Siva

Siva is a male name with origins in Hindu mythology. It is derived from the Sanskrit word "śiva," which means "auspicious" or "kind." In Hinduism, Siva is one of the principal deities and is often associated with destruction and creation. He is also known as the god of meditation, yoga, and arts. The name Siva has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in the United States, where it has been given to a small but growing number of newborn boys. It has a gentle and melodious sound when pronounced as SEE-vah (/ˈsiːvə/). Variations of the name include Shiva. Parents who choose this name for their child may be drawn to its rich cultural heritage and powerful associations.
