History & Origin

Samved takes its name from the Samaveda, third of the four Vedas, whose name joins saman ('chant; melody') to veda ('knowledge'). It is the Veda of sung ritual, and Indian classical music has long claimed descent from its melodies. As a given name it is modern in form, chosen for its link to sacred learning and song — a scriptural reference we note respectfully (said 'SUM-ved').

In the U.S. it is very rare, carried mainly by Indian families. Very rare, scriptural, and musical.

Did you know? The Sama Veda is the Veda of song — its verses are meant to be sung, not merely spoken, and Indian classical music traces its roots to those chants. Samved carries that music in its name.
