Nanda Origin and Meaning
The name Nanda is a girl's name.
Nanda is a feminine name with rich multicultural roots. In Sanskrit, it means 'joy' or 'bliss,' and it appears in Hindu mythology as the name of the foster father of Krishna. In Portuguese and Spanish-speaking countries, Nanda often serves as a nickname for names ending with '-nanda' such as Fernanda. The name carries a spiritual significance in Buddhist traditions as well. Nanda has a simple yet distinctive sound that travels well across cultural boundaries. Though not among the most common names in Western countries, it has maintained steady usage in South Asian communities and has been gaining modest international recognition for its pleasing sound, positive meaning, and cross-cultural appeal.
