Soma

Soma is a name derived from the Sanskrit word for 'moon'. The moon has always been an important symbol in Indian culture. Soma was the name of a lunar deity who was said to produce magical nectar that could bring immortality. Through this interpretation, the meaning of Soma is 'lunar nectar'. Soma was also the name of a ritual drink in the Hindu culture that was made by pressing the Soma plant. In addition to being associated with the moon, Soma also means 'summer' as per its English origins. This may be due to the fact that the moon is said to be at its brightest and most beautiful during the summer months. Whatever the reason, Soma is a beautiful name for your baby girl that evokes images of warm summer nights and the soft light of the moon. A person with this name is Soma Valliappan, an Indian writer.
