Sandya
Sandya Origin and Meaning
Sandya is a feminine name with multiple cultural origins. In Sanskrit, it relates to 'sandhya,' meaning 'twilight' or the meeting point between day and night, considered an auspicious time for prayer in Hindu traditions. The name can also be interpreted as a variant spelling of Sandya or Sandia, potentially deriving from Greek 'Alexandra' or as a creative variation of 'Sandy' (diminutive of Sandra or Cassandra). With its soft consonants and flowing vowels, Sandya has a melodic quality that travels well across language boundaries. Though not among the most common names in Western countries, it appears occasionally in Indian communities and increasingly among parents seeking names with cross-cultural appeal. The name evokes images of peaceful transition and natural beauty.
