Nepali names starting with Su, from kindness to sunlight

Kindness, calm and brightness offer three ways into these 396 Su names. The examples begin सु, with स and the short u vowel, as in Suman (सुमन). Look beyond that common opening: Suman’s flower image, Sujan’s good-person meaning and Suraj’s sunlight give quite different reasons to choose.

  1. Character wishes

    Sujan means a good, wise and kind-hearted person. Sushil means of good character, gentle and courteous.

  2. Blue and sunlight

    Sunil means deep blue, like the sky. Suraj means the sun, while Sudip means very bright or a shining lamp.

  3. Calm and companionship

    Sushant means very calm or peaceful. Sumit means good friend, also well measured and balanced.

Su names for kindness, calm and friendship

Suman (सुमन) means flower, also good-minded, cheerful and pleasant. Sujan means a good person, wise and kind-hearted. Sushil means well-behaved, gentle and courteous. Sushant means very calm and peaceful. Sumit means good friend, also well measured and balanced. Subash means fragrance or sweet scent and also good speech. Compare these qualities before choosing by the shared सु sound. Use the name finder to explore a meaning that appeals.

Su names for colour, light and divine titles

Sunil (सुनिल) means deep blue, like the sky, while Suraj means the sun. Sudip and Sudeep mean very bright or a beautiful shining lamp; both are written सुदिप. Suresh means lord of the gods, an epithet of Indra, Vishnu and Shiva. Surendra also means lord of the gods and names Indra. Decide whether you want a visual image or a divine title. The guide to names from Hindu gods and goddesses offers more devotional comparisons.

Tips for parents

  • Keep the सु opening clear when discussing the English Su spelling.
  • Read both Suman meanings if flower and good-minded are equally appealing.
  • Choose Sudip or Sudeep once rather than alternating the English forms.
  • Compare a quality name such as Sushant with a title such as Surendra before deciding.
