Soma

Some people like to look up at the moon and wish, but with this name, all you have to do is look at your baby. Soma is a gender-neutral name most commonly of Indian origin, meaning "moon" or "lunar nectar." It's sometimes associated with the Hindu god Chandra, who is the god of the moon, night, and vegetation. If baby wakes up in the middle of the night, they'll be able to look at the sky and find comfort in the moonlight. Soma is the root of the word Somavara, which is Monday in the Hindu calendar. It is also thought to be related to the Japanese masculine name Sōma which means “sudden, change of wind” and “real” or “genuine,” as well as Hungarian for “dogwood” or “cornel tree.”
