Soham
Soham Origin and Meaning
Soham is a masculine name of Sanskrit origin with deep spiritual significance in Hindu tradition. The name derives from the Sanskrit words 'sah' (that) and 'aham' (I am), forming a sacred mantra meaning 'I am That' or 'I am the universe.' This profound philosophical concept represents the unity between the individual soul and the universal consciousness. Soham is pronounced with two syllables (SO-hum) and has been growing in popularity among Hindu families worldwide, particularly those seeking names with spiritual depth. In India, especially in Maharashtra, the name has maintained steady usage. Its combination of spiritual meaning, pleasant sound, and relatively easy pronunciation across cultures has contributed to its increasing international appeal.
