Soma Origin and Meaning
The name Soma is a girl's name of Hindi, Sanskrit origin meaning "to extract".
Appearing in an early Hindi scripture, The Vedas, Soma is the name of both a ritual drink or elixir, and of a deity, often connected to the moon god Chandra. The drink is sometimes interpreted as having the power to grant immortality or divine qualities, but its actual, more literal meaning is "extract" or "distil" in Sanskrit.
Used as a unisex name among Hindu parents, it is also a Japanese and Hungarian boy name, associated with the colour blue, reality, and the wind, and the dogwood tree respectively.
