History & Origin

Meha is a name of Sanskrit origin, generally traced to 'megha,' the word for cloud or rain, imagery deeply woven into Indian poetry and the monsoon-season festivals. It travelled to the United States with Indian immigrant families in the later twentieth century.

It was never common on American records, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 2003. A girl named Meha then is in her early twenties today, often the daughter of first-generation Indian American parents.

Did you know? In much of India rain is celebrated rather than dreaded, so a rain-and-cloud name like Meha reads as fresh, cooling and full of promise.
