Origin
Meaning and history of Siddh
The name Siddh originates from the Sanskrit language and has its roots in ancient Indian culture and Hinduism. It is derived from the Sanskrit word "siddha," which means "perfected one" or "accomplished." The name carries a spiritual connotation and is often associated with the attainment of enlightenment or spiritual mastery.
One of the earliest known references to the name Siddh can be found in ancient Hindu scriptures, particularly in the context of the "Siddhas," which were a group of enlightened beings or spiritual adepts who were believed to have attained a high level of spiritual powers and knowledge. The Siddhas were revered for their wisdom and were often mentioned in various religious texts and mythology.
In the Puranic literature, which consists of ancient Hindu texts, there are several references to the Siddhas and the concept of "siddhis," which are supernatural powers or abilities that are said to be attained through spiritual practices. Some of the notable Siddhas mentioned in these texts include Agastya, Kapila, and Patanjali, who were revered figures in Hindu philosophy and yoga.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who bore the name Siddh or its variations. One of the earliest recorded examples is Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha, who lived around the 5th century BCE. He was the founder of Buddhism and is widely regarded as one of the most influential spiritual leaders in human history.
Another prominent figure with the name Siddh is Siddha Nagarjuna, who lived around the 2nd or 3rd century CE. He was an influential Buddhist philosopher and is considered one of the most important figures in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. His philosophical works, such as the "Mulamadhyamakakarika," had a profound impact on Buddhist thought and continue to be studied and revered to this day.
In the realm of Indian classical music, one cannot overlook the contributions of Siddha Gnaneshwara, who lived in the 13th century CE. He was a renowned composer and is credited with the creation of the "Abhangs," which are devotional poetic compositions in the Marathi language. His works played a significant role in the Bhakti movement, a spiritual renaissance that swept across India during that time.
Another notable figure is Siddha Baba, also known as Baba Siddha Nath, who lived in the 16th century CE. He was a renowned mystic and spiritual master who is revered in both Hindu and Muslim traditions. His teachings emphasized the unity of all religions and the importance of spiritual growth.
Siddha Sengupta, who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was a prominent Bengali philosopher and spiritual leader. He founded the Sadharan Brahmo Samaj, a reformist movement within Hinduism, and his writings and teachings had a significant impact on the intellectual and spiritual landscape of Bengal during his time.
These are just a few examples of the notable individuals who have borne the name Siddh throughout history, but the name's rich heritage and spiritual connotations have endured across various cultures and traditions, making it a revered and meaningful name in many parts of the world.

FAQ
Siddh: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Siddh?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 112 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Siddh going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 3,060,307 US residents.
Is Siddh a common name?
We classify Siddh as "Very Rare". It ranks above 66.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 113 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Siddh most popular?
The single biggest year for Siddh was 2015, when 10 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Siddh is about 14 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Siddh in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Siddh a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Siddh in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Siddh still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Siddh in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Siddh can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
