Sahas

Sahas is a masculine name of Sanskrit origin meaning "courage," "bravery," or "strength." Common in Indian cultures, particularly among Hindu families, the name embodies qualities of determination and fearlessness that parents often wish for their sons. Sahas carries spiritual significance in Hindu philosophy, representing the inner fortitude needed to face life's challenges. While traditional in India and among the Indian diaspora, it remains relatively uncommon in Western countries, making it both culturally rich and distinctive internationally. The name's simple pronunciation and positive meaning give it cross-cultural appeal, while its Sanskrit roots connect the bearer to ancient traditions. For many families, Sahas represents not just physical bravery but intellectual and moral courage as well.

Pronounced SAH-hus.
